About Me

As a highly motivated Mechanical Engineering graduate student, I possess a profound enthusiasm for innovation and tackling complex challenges. My interests lie in, but are not limited to Computational Fluid Dynamics, Multiphase Flow, Additive Manufacturing Materials, and so on. With hands-on research experience in biochemical systems, particularly Bubble Column Reactors, I combine strategic insight and practical solutions to address real-world engineering problems. Recognised for my leadership, analytical mindset, and excellent interpersonal abilities in managing teams and orchestrating projects, I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments. I am excited about bringing my inventive spirit and technical acumen to new opportunities, both within engineering and in interdisciplinary fields.
