Research Mechanical Engineer

I am a research scientist with publications in top-tier scientific journals, including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). My research spans a broad range of fields -- solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics, origami, electromagnetism, and more -- which gives me both deep expertise and the ability to connect concepts across disciplines.

As a professional researcher, I work with these technical subjects daily, applying advanced mathematics, physics, and computational methods to solve real problems. This means I don't just understand theory. I bring current, practical knowledge and the ability to explain complex technical concepts with precision and clarity. Beyond my research credentials, I have thousands of hours of tutoring experience working with students at high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. I've built my teaching approach around clarity, adaptability, and meeting learners where they are, skills that translate directly to training AI systems. My experience breaking down complex problems, explaining solution strategies step-by-step, and communicating technical concepts to diverse audiences makes me uniquely suited to provide high-quality training data.

Whether evaluating AI responses for technical accuracy, generating detailed explanations of advanced concepts, or creating nuanced problem-solving demonstrations, I bring the rigor of a researcher and the communication skills of an experienced educator.
