Biography

I graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and began my career as a Project Engineer at AES Arabia Company, supporting projects with Saudi Aramco PMT. I then completed my M.S. in Chemical Engineering, where my research focused on developing a fully automated self-driving laboratory powered by machine learning for materials discovery and process intensification.

Research Interests

I am interested in the dynamic/operando experiments. I am also interested in Automation, high-throughput experiments, and machine learning.
