Seeing a 118 MW data center before it's built
Edged, an Endeavour company, develops waterless-cooled, AI-ready data centers. I lead product for the design visualization side of an NVIDIA Omniverse platform that lets sales, design, land, and test engineering teams explore campus designs before construction.
I gathered what each team needed, made wind CFD the MVP to prove the concept and supply the wind data used to set site orientation, and build features in Python and C++, including the pipeline that brings CFD results into Omniverse. I'm also integrating AI workflows into the platform, like an agentic workflow for visualization.

Heating greenhouses with data center waste heat
Almost all the power a data center uses ends up as heat, and most of it is thrown away. My thesis asks whether that heat can keep a nearby greenhouse warm year-round.
I’m modeling heat generation, recovery, storage, and delivery in MATLAB across four cooling scenarios, and using machine learning to generate predictive seasonal schedules that match greenhouse heating demand to data center operations.

Supporting UC Davis's move from steam to hot water
I supported HVAC design and layout in Revit and AutoCAD for campus and lab facilities, including UC Davis's Big Shift project, which is replacing campus steam heating with a hot water heat recovery and storage system. I also simulated thermal loads in IES VE to optimize mechanical designs to ASHRAE and LEED standards.
Outside the design work, I led an initiative to explain each engineering discipline to other groups, including a mechanical engineering lunch-and-learn for engineers and non-engineers.

Cutting energy use in multifamily high-rises
Altanova is an energy and sustainability consulting firm. I audited four multifamily high-rises, taking field measurements and running boiler tests, and found changes to water fixtures, windows, and lighting fixtures and schedules that achieved more than 20% energy savings.
I also benchmarked energy use for carbon profiles and regulatory compliance and supported building commissioning.

Finding the market for a faculty-built microscope
I led our team's analysis of the market opportunity and commercialization path for a two-photon fluorescence microscope developed by Cornell faculty. We pitched our recommendations to a judging panel and won.
