Power-grid resilience
Modelling hurricane-induced disruption in power networks, studying cascading failures, and analysing infrastructure resilience.
About me
I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
My research focuses on large-scale network simulation, parallel computing, and infrastructure resilience. I develop computational methods to study how infrastructure and mobility networks behave under disruption.
Before RPI, I studied Computer Science at the University of Toronto, graduating with High Distinction. Alongside research and teaching, I build systems and developer tools.
Research
Large-scale network simulation & infrastructure resilience
My current work connects network modelling with high-performance computing, with an emphasis on infrastructure and transportation systems.
Multi-GPU mobility simulation
Developing distributed, agent-based transportation simulations with CUDA and MPI, and evaluating performance on high-performance computing systems.
