A little about me

I currently live in Provo, UT and study at Brigham Young University. I am working on a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering working the the BYU RaD (Robotics and Dynamics) Lab. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering a minor in Computer Science from BYU in 2022.

My thesis focuses on creating learned dynamic DNN models specifically for soft robotics and using those learned models on hardware for control tasks. I hope to apply this to a complicated hardware system (see IK on Bellows Arm or Current Research).

I am married and have two daughters and a boy. I love spending time with them outside, playing frisbee, and working out.
