Bio

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech, where I am affiliated with the Aeroelasticity and Structural Dynamics (ASD) discipline area and the Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence (VLRCOE).

My Structural Dynamics and Aeroelasticity Research Laboratory investigates dynamic aeroelastic phenomena in the next generation of fixed-wing and vertical lift aerospace vehicles using novel computational models and analysis methods. We aim to both advance our fundamental understanding of new aerospace vehicle configurations and support their design. 

I am a Senior Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, serving on its Structural Dynamics Technical Committee and as the current Deputy Technical Discipline Chair for the Structural Dynamics track of the AIAA SciTech Forum. I am also a Member of the Vertical Flight Society, serving on its Dynamics Technical Committee. Since 2019, I have been involved in the AIAA Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop as a member of the Large Deflection Working Group.

Before joining Georgia Tech in 2022, I was a Research Fellow in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I earned my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from Sapienza University of Rome.
