Materials Science & Engineering · UC Berkeley
Engineering the materials of tomorrow — from atomic structure to real-world application.
I'm an undergraduate Materials Science & Engineering student at UC Berkeley, driven by the intersection of atomic-scale phenomena and real-world engineering challenges.
My focus spans structural materials, nuclear energy, and advanced characterization — with hands-on lab experience in heat treatment, mechanical testing, and environmental sensing systems.
Outside of the lab, I work on creative and technical side projects including digital video production, electronics hardware, and computational tools for materials analysis.
Technical Skills
Investigated U-shaped Rockwell hardness profiles across five microstructural regions in heat-treated steel, correlating TTT cooling curves to pearlite and martensite formation.
View report →Applied Poisson statistics, CLT, and histogram analysis to radiation and air quality sensor datasets. Built a reusable Jupyter notebook workflow for ongoing lab sessions.
View notebook →Research into HALEU-fueled micro-modular reactors (KRONOS MMR, ZEUS) at Nano Nuclear Energy. Coursework in reactor physics simulation using Serpent and SCALE.
Learn more →Node-based 3D blood-dip text effect built in DaVinci Resolve Fusion. Explored MultiPoly masking, Invert logic, and frame-rate conversion workflows with FFmpeg.
View project →Designed and wired a radio-controlled circuit including brushless motor, ESCs, series battery configuration, receiver, and switch — with three-phase wiring and positive-rail switching.
View schematic →Array operations including Vandermonde matrix construction via broadcasting and vander(), used in materials property curve-fitting and numerical analysis coursework.
View code →Research into HALEU-fueled microreactor design including KRONOS MMR and ZEUS programs. Applied reactor physics simulation tools (Serpent, SCALE) and contributed to technical documentation for advanced small modular reactor concepts.
Coursework spanning fracture mechanics, dislocation theory, crystallography, thermodynamics, and laboratory techniques including Rockwell hardness testing, heat treatment, XRD, and SEM. Lab course under Prof. Jie Yao (MSE 45L).
Hardware electronics design, video production and compositing, computational materials analysis, and open-source tooling. Spanning RF electronics, DaVinci Resolve Fusion, Python data pipelines, and MATLAB numerical methods.
