⚙️ I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate majoring in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering with a minor in History of Art and Architecture at UC Santa Barbara,

🧪 My research focuses on improving drug delivery in clogged blood vessels, especially in dead-end vessel geometries where transport is very slow. By engineering solute concentration gradients and tailoring microchannel surface properties, I study how to control particle motion and significantly accelerate transport, reducing delivery times from days to hours. Building on this, I developed tunable hydrogel “beacons” that generate sustained chemical gradients to attract, repel, sort, and organize particles without pumps or external power.

🔬 I have passion for improving people’s lives and protecting the environment began to take shape. My undergraduate research reflected these interests, focusing on capillary flows in suspensions and cohesive grains for dust removal, as well as modeling the physics of rockslides and avalanches.

📖 I was the vice president of the UCSB student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). In my spare time, I enjoy writing songs and rehearse in the band. I also loves playing basketball with friends.

👬 I am willing to assisting others on their path in the world of microfluidics and academia.

Selected Experience

🌍 Research Assistant

I have experience contributing to C-Thru Global Project a 3-year, US $4m, international research project which aims to deliver carbon clarity for the global petrochemical sector. I helped quantify the energy and emissions footprints of global chemical supply chains and identify technologies for rapid decarbonization. I also constructed, tested, and refined mass and energy balance models of chemical process systems, and develop technology databases

🥤 R&D Engineer

I have experience working in PepsiCo as a research and development intern. I really enjoyed the good working atmosphere with a lot of delicious food. 😆 I helped Leverage AI techniques such as EXCEL, Python Modules, and Power BI to abstract universal parameters and requirements for specific ingredients that are commonly used in PepsiCo. I also enabled product developers a knowledge-based ingredient specification baseline for a new ingredient spec for their innovations
