As a Research Assistant at Texas Tech University, I work on cutting-edge projects
in renewable energy, focusing on the resiliency of electrical grids, and energy planning.
I have a strong passion for advancing the field of renewable energy and building a
more sustainable future for all.
My research interests include the resiliency of electrical infrastructure against
extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. I aim to develop
innovative solutions that can enhance the reliability and security of our energy systems
and protect our communities from these threats.
With a background in environmental civil engineering and extensive experience, I have
developed core project planning, team leadership, and teamwork competencies.
