About
I am fascinated by fire, math, and computational science. I love most to read, write, and teach.
This is my blog. I first made it public for my trip to Gaithersburg, Maryland at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2007 for a summer internship. It continues on with my studies, life, and passions in everyday explorations.
I am a mechanical engineering student doing fire research with a progressive mind for development, science, learning, and new experiences.
For the first part of my life, I grew up in the wonderful state of Texas (Houston). In 2008, I moved to Worcester, Massachusetts to attend Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I finished 1.5 years later and obtained a M.S. degree in fire protection engineering in the fall of 2009. I moved back to my home state of Texas in December of 2009 to pursue a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering (thermal fluids/systems) at the University of Texas at Austin. I will be working on problems involving fire dynamics and fire modeling. Very exciting!
I want to teach and profess fire. I want to learn, share, and fully participate in this new informational era of community-driven organization and discovery.
My subject of choice aside, I love what I do in life without fear. I want to pass that along to others.
In this website I try to communicate out the ideas and life-grabbing concepts that I come across during my journey.
