About me

I'm a Visiting Assistant Professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in December 2025, with a dissertation on resilience engineering using bifurcation analysis and ecological network theory.

My research focuses on understanding failure modes in critical infrastructure. The central question behind most of my work: when a complex system gets disrupted, what determines whether it recovers or collapses? I developed a diagnostic framework called BARD (Bifurcation Analysis for Resilience Diagnostics) that quantifies this across three dimensions: absorption, adaptation, and recovery. The work has been published in the Systems Engineering journal.

I currently teach three courses: Signals and Systems (CEC 315), Optimization in Systems Engineering (SYS 303), and Digital Communications (EE 620). Before my current role, I spent four years as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant, where I designed two new graduate courses and instructed over 150 students.

My broader research interests include multi-agent reinforcement learning, bio-inspired system design, LLM fine-tuning for engineering applications, and autonomous UAV coordination. I've published at INCOSE, ASME, and AIAA conferences, and secured over $86,000 in research funding.

Beyond research

I hold a PADI Divemaster certification with over 400 logged dives across more than a dozen countries. I've worked as a professional dive guide in Indonesia, and I'm a member of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
