I am a research associate and a research specialist at ICER, MSU. Previously, I was a research scientist at Tech-X in Boulder, CO. I received a PhD in Aerospace engineering from University of Michigan in 2008. My research interests include: magnetic fields in strongly coupled plasmas, abnormal electron transport in Hall effect thrusters, and high-performance computing using multicores and accelerators.
