Computational scientist specializing in reactive flows.

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Science at the National Laboratory of the Rockies. I develop high-performance computational tools for reactive flow, combustion, and energy applications.

Research areas include:

  • Combustion performance of synthetic aviation turbine fuels (SATF)
  • Multicomponent fuel property prediction
  • Carbon capture systems
  • Multiphysics CFD
  • Blood clotting dynamics

FuelLib
Open-source library for predicting thermophysical properties of complex aviation fuels using group contribution methods.

clotFoam
CFD solver for modeling blood clot formation.

Pele
Contributor to the AMReX-based Pele combustion suite for large-scale reacting flow simulations.

Kynema
Contributor to the Kynema suite of open-source incompressible CFD and structural dynamics codes.
