Welcome to my website! I'm Dylan, a PhD in Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering from University of Southern California and a Performance/Simulation/Application Engineer at Caterpillar. I specialize in multi-physics modeling, battery performance and lifetime prediction, and CAE for electrified and heavy-duty systems.
My work encompasses physics-informed ML for battery aging and cycle-life prediction, battery cell–module–pack architecture and layout design, and nonlinear structural/thermal-mechanical simulation in ABAQUS. I develop MOOSE- and COMSOL-based phase-field and continuum models that couple electrochemical transport with thermal and mechanical effects to study degradation and voltage behavior in battery materials and systems.
