Mentor: Dr. Yogesh K. Vohra
I earned my B.S. in Engineering Physics from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina. While at LRU, I competed in the Spaceport America Cup, an international collegiate rocketry competition. I have completed engineering internships at Shurtape Technologies, L3Harris, and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. My research interests focus on high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and their applications in aerospace and nuclear systems. I’m drawn to physics for its innovative power, especially when combined with the practical problem-solving of engineering.
