Aidan is currently a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley with a Bachelor’s in the same from Northeastern University.
After working on several projects in industry, from the SLS rocket to an energy start-up, he is now a researcher in Professor Zohdi’s Multiphysics Simulation and Optimization Lab and holds a year-round position with Sandia National Labs. He is interested in expanding the predictive capabilities and speed of digital twins. His projects include agent based simulation of disease spread for early outbreak detection and modeling of thermal protection materials for hypersonics, both in collaboration with Sandia researchers.
