Hello, welcome to my personal website.

Engineering - Research - Aerospace

My bio

I graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2021 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and minors in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. While an undergraduate, I gained a passion for material science research and aerospace that continues to guide me today. I continue to perform research through my alma matter while pursuing technical experience in engineering. Currently, I attend UCLA's Mechanical Engineering Master's Program. I was recently promoted from Project Engineer to Assistant Superintendent at a top general contractor in the country, and I hold aspirations of putting my knowledge to use with a team of like-minded engineers at an aerospace company to push the limits of what is possible.

Material Science

my Research

MgAZ31B Ductility

I performed research with the purpose of improving the ductility of high strength-to-weight ratio material MgAZ31B. Methods included cold rolling, annealing, etching, polishing, and scanning electron microscopy. The results are now published in a peer-reviewed journal. I have linked the full article below.

Aerospace Aluminum Alloy Fatigue

I conducted a literature review of 50+ publications on the fatigue life of Aluminum alloys of 2XXX, 5XXX, and 7XXX series. Currently undergoing the peer review publication process. Link to the full article to be included soon.

Additive Manufacturing Fatigue

I am conducting a literature review of the current knowledge on the fatigue life of additive manufactured Aluminum alloy Al16MgSi. The results are to be peer reviewed and published in a scientific journal. Link to the full article will be included when research is completed.
