About Me

I am a maker, engineer, environmentalist, and general data enthusiast. My personal projects have lead me to explore a number of disparate topics like additive manufacturing, mesh networks, atmospheric chemistry, electrical engineering, optics, and aquatic botany.

When I'm not doing any of those things, I enjoy powerlifting, swimming, making espresso, and reading.


My research interests span several different subtopics of theoretical computer science, including:

  • graph theory
  • computational linguistics (NLU)
  • the digital humanities
  • formal systems

    • My goal is to conduct research which both advances the theoretical as well as re-imagines how and where computation can make a positive difference.
