I am an undergraduate at Brigham Young University studying Physics. I joined the Materials Simulation Group (MSG) My freshman year after Dr. Hart presented the group's research in Physcs 191. During my time in the group I have developed programming skills in python, julia, bash, C++, and learned how to work together with a team to find solutions to important problems.

Many Body Tensor Representation:
My current research is with the recently proposed Many Body Tensor Representation (MBTR) for atomic systems. This method interpolates the materials space to achieve accurate results at a fraction of the computational cost of existing methods. My project researches the application of MBTR for representing binary/ternary alloys and using machine learning to predict new materials at a faster rate.
