I am also a College Graduate (2018) with roughly 17 years of experience doing various visual effects, renders, 3d modeling, video editing, and even 3d printing. My tools of choice are 3ds Max and Vray for rendering. I can help you bring your 3d dreams to life! I can edit videos and create effects using Adobe After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve! Have a look at my demo reel on my profile here, and my personal portfolio in the Portfolio section of my page!

    I have experience bridging mathematical models to experimental observations. My professional journey started as a Mechanical Engineer specializing in mechanical vibrations and parameter estimation. During my Masters I studied and developed skills in numerical methods and computational mechanics, in particular Fluid-Structure Interaction. In 2021 I earned my Ph.D. analyzing the effects of uncertainty on mathematical models applied to Foam-assisted oil recovery. Nowadays I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the Pennsylvania State University in the Eberly College of Science. My research comprises the simulation of bacteria dynamics and their interactions to design better antibiotics. Drop me a message if you think that your project can benefit from applied mathematics and numerical simulations... I'll be waiting for your new challenge...
