About Me
I'm pursuing an M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Structural Engineering at the University of Connecticut. I'm interested in how structural analysis informs the design and assessment of bridges and buildings.
At Silva Engineering, I performed bridge load ratings and designed retaining walls and backstop rail systems. Before graduate school, I worked at Softwel in Nepal, where I designed reinforced concrete buildings and steel trusses and developed software to automate engineering calculations and AutoCAD drafting.
As a graduate research assistant at UConn's Connecticut Manufacturing Simulation Center, I develop nonlinear finite element models in Abaqus and compare their predictions with experimental measurements. My current research focuses on how lithium disilicate ceramics respond to microscratch loading.
