I still remember my disappointment when I as a kid realized that I could not use "The Force" like Luke Skywalker... hence, I ended up becoming an engineer. I have a PhD in mechanics, and now I work at University of Southern California, in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department. My research is in the area of experimental mechanics, and in particular my research group is interested in shock waves and high strain rate impacts. When I am not working I enjoy kickboxing and my 1966 Mustang.
