Sophomore 

Major: Aerospace Engineering 

I was born in Pakistan and moved to South Florida when I was 3 years old. My primary research interest is in improving the performance and efficiency of aircraft, particularly with DBD plasma actuators. Currently I work on designing and developing physical experiments such as the turbine blade tip leakage project. My future goals are to test aerogel plasma actuators in high temperature conditions and to learn computational experimental methods.
