Hey! Thanks for visiting my website.
I’m currently researching at Los Alamos National Laboratory on 3D ML Neural Radiance wavefield reconstruction for a robotic laser doppler vibrometer.
I will be a part of the first Cambridge AI Safety Hub Hardware Security Cohort this fall. I am deferring grad school at Carnegie Mellon University to work on 3D models for robotic perception, because I think hardware and nuclear security is a more pressing problem.
I grew up in Albuquerque, and finished my undergrad degree at New Mexico Tech. I built the first piezoelectric wafer testing experiment in space, which flew on the MISSE platform of the International Space Station this year. I also organized and led a team to win $10k in funding for a NASA competition to build an optical damage detection sensor. I have worked with AFRL, SNL, and NASA for intern/Co-Op positions during school.
I am always open to new projects or meeting new people, so feel free to reach out to me!
