Current NCAA Division 3 track and cross-country runner, helped team to highest regional finish in years.

Current Projects & Interests

Right now, I’m working on applying machine learning to biotechnological projects within the startup space.


I'm also currently seeking research opportunities within ACM and CS.

Skills & Expertise

Technical Skills

Soft Skills

Experience

Contributed to a grant-funded project by designing and building a low-cost bioreactor to support biomanufacturing education in Utah. Achieved substantial cost savings utilizing off-the-shelf parts and designing precise PID and fuzzy control system for stable fermentation.


Developed data acquisition tools for pollutant diffusion studies in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley. Leveraged Python to automate data processing, enhancing research on local atmospheric pollution with improved data accuracy through quadratic interpolation.


Built a “smart shoe”, integrating Kalman filtering and a 6DOF IMU for real-time foot-strike classification.
