I am a building science researcher working to make indoor spaces smarter, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient. My research uses IoT sensors, occupant-centered controls, and data-driven systems to help buildings save energy while better supporting the people inside them.

With more than a decade of engineering and managerial experience in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, I have worked on building energy optimization, HVAC system design and validation, utility infrastructure, factory construction, equipment commissioning, and operational efficiency improvement. This industry background shaped my practical understanding of complex building systems, environmental control, and performance-driven facility operation.

As a doctoral student at Louisiana State University, my current research focuses on occupant-centric building energy management using smart sensing, localized comfort systems, digital twins, and predictive control strategies. I develop and evaluate IoT-based solutions that enable buildings to respond more intelligently to human comfort, occupancy patterns, and energy demand while maintaining healthy and productive indoor environments.

My broader goal is to bridge practical engineering, building science research, and scalable smart-building technologies. Whether developing smart desk devices, analyzing indoor environmental data, or publishing research on energy-efficient building control, I aim to contribute to the next generation of adaptive buildings that are responsive, sustainable, and human-centered.
