Hey! Thanks for visiting my website.

I’m currently researching at LANL on 3D Neural Radiance/ML wavefield reconstruction for a robotic laser doppler vibrometer.

After this, I will be starting my master’s degree to research superhuman perception (Check this out!) and enhanced sensing at Carnegie Mellon University under Dr. Carmel Majidi. I am super excited about this research! There is so much physical phenomena around us that we could see and feel with the right tools.

I grew up in Albuquerque, and I am completing my bachelors degree in mechanical engineering at NMT. I did a lot of random projects here, mostly relating to space systems and sensors. I built the first piezoelectric wafer testing experiment in space, which flew on the MISSE platform of the International Space Station this year. I organized and lead a team of 3 students to win $10k funding in a NASA competition for an optical damage detection sensor, among other things. More on my CV.

I am always open to new projects or meeting new people, so feel free to reach out to me!
