About Me

2016-2020 (expected) : Bachelors Physics; Brigham Young University (Provo)

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.

Projects

Multi-Alloy Potentials with SHIPs

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.

  • Project Impact gives an overview of the scope and purpose of my research

  • Project Context is an interactive ipython noteboook with walks throughs and explanations of my methodology.

  • Project Results reviews current progress and or results and what my work has contributed.
