I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, working in Dr. Nathalie Vriend's Granular Flow Lab.
I have worked at L3Harris Technologies as a Quality Engineer and previously spent time at HRL Laboratories in Malibu, CA, developing a digital manufacturing system for composite materials. During my time at Cornell University, I enjoyed designing and flying planes with its Unmanned Air Systems group.
When there's snow on the ground, I'll be out on the US and Canadian ski trails. Once the temperatures rise, you'll find me running local trails and exploring hidden swimming holes.
