About me

Currently, I work as a post-doc researcher at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University.

My experience spans from building modeling to the design, control, and optimization of HVAC, mechanical and lighting systems, and my current work focuses on integrating AI‑powered techniques to modeling, control and performance evaluation of dynamics systems.
