Hey! Thanks for visiting my website.

I am an undergraduate researcher at NMT, and recently a Los Alamos National Labs research fellow. As a student I have built an autonomous damage detection payload that will fly on the International Space Station (MISSE). I have also worked with the Air Force Research Lab as a project lead for the space vehicles directorate. I like to pick up other projects along the way, especially related to safety, perception, and autonomy.

Research: I want to use advancing sensor systems to improve human and robotic perception, and to keep us safe. My research teams have received funding for sensors from NASA and NIA.

Currently, I am planning to research on AI governance through acoustic signatures monitoring of TPUs and GPUs, and I will be looking for funding and collaborators soon. Reach out if you have worked on any of these topics, or are interested in working with me!
