Bio

I'm currently working in the Compressor System Aerodynamics group at Pratt and Whitney helping design groundbreaking technologies for next generation aircraft engines. My experience spans across multiple parts at the system level including airfoil design, aerodynamics and structures for fan and compressor modules. Work closely with cross-functional module center integrated product teams to develop cutting-edge turbomachinery designs to bring value to our customers in a timely and cost-effective manner. I work on supporting system level aerodynamic and aeromechanic analysis to meet technical requirements both through analysis and validation using state of the art testing practices.

I strongly believe in giving back to aerospace community which has helped me build an exciting career in the field of turbomachinery and aerospace starting from the GUIde consortium which funded my graduate research. I also contribute as a volunteer to the ASME IGTI and AIAA in multiple ways . My career goal is to contribute to the Aerospace industry for decades to come.

Always open to discussing challenges and ideas in Aerospace Engineering and business.
