I am a Computer Science PhD student (started in 2016) under Ethan Miller and Darrell Long. My primary research is into non-volatile memory support in operating systems. We are always searching for talented undergraduates who would like to work with us (if you have taken and done well in CMPS111 and want to do more kernel-related work, feel free to contact me or Ethan).

In addition to my research, I love music, playing guitar, hiking, backpacking, exploring new places, and discovering new ways to break things. I also have a website where I write dumb ramblings.
