Hey! Thanks for visiting my website.

I'm currently researching at Los Alamos National Laboratory on machine learning methods in satelite data for nonproliferation.

I will be part of the first Cambridge AI Safety Hub Hardware Security Cohort this fall. I am deferring grad school at Carnegie Mellon University 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've 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!
