Evan was born and raised on the Jersey Shore in a town called Fair Haven, New Jersey. Having grown up in a community surrounded by the beach, ocean, and wildlife, he had a desire to pursue his passions in a way that involved the environment. Starting from a dream to make film creations a reality such as an X-Wing from Star Wars or Iron Man's MK50 nanotech suit, mechanical and aerospace engineering was the clear choice of study. At Princeton University, he has found spaces where these interests can be combined. Evan began research in the BAM lab in May 2025 where he sought after the air and designed and fabricated a pressure tap wing system that was inspired by a peregrine falcon study led by the University of Bristol. Additionally, he has taken an interest in the water through his time spent with Princeton Electric Speedboating, an engineering team at Princeton that builds and races electric boats. During his time with PES, the team has won 1st place in their national competition twice, broken the world record for the fastest electric boat in the world, and built an entirely custom vessel to break the team's own world record. He now serves as President of Princeton Electric Speedboating. Outside of his academic pursuits, Evan enjoys backpacking with Outdoor Action, playing upright bass in the Department of Music Jazz Ensembles, leading Orange Key tours for prospective students, spending time at Princeton Tower Club, and playing spikeball on the beach with his friends and JBL speaker.

For his senior thesis, Evan is pursuing a multi-functional solution to the challenges that UAVs struggle with. The approach introduces passive flexing in response to disturbances such as gusts, vibrations, and turbulence. His thesis will propose a wing to mitigate these problems and generate useful power in the form of electricity from these disturbances. The goal of the thesis in the Spring Semester would be to design, engineer, and manufacture a UAV that is able to takeoff, navigate, perform tasks with the generated electricity, and mitigate disturbances without a severe or detrimental collision that hinders the UAV’s flight performance.
