About Me
I am a first year Ph.D. student studying Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. My research is on modeling of multicomponent fluids using a seven model which generalizes Navier-Stokes. When I'm not busy with school or research I enjoy spending time outdoors camping, hiking, and climbing or indoors playing board games.

Relevant Work Experience
Defence Science and Technology Intern - Lawrence Livermore National Lab
June 2022 - August 2022
In this position I taught myself how to use ALE3D for the purposes of modeling a high explosive point to line generator with the purpose of accelerating flyer plates for the measurement of dynamic material properties. Presentation
