Modeling wave progression with 4 different computational fluid dynamic schemes. The pros and cons of each scheme become apparent when compared side by side. We can see differences in dissipation and dispersion in the decreases in magnitude of the wave and "squiggles" at the base of the waves respectively. The differences in computational complexity are felt when waiting for these schemes to iterate. (Python, Feb 2023)
todo: make these gifs using python so they don't get scaled down to 240p by some online free site
Cooling of a uniform cube with uniform temperature on all 6 faces. Done by discretizing the 3D unsteady heat equation using a central difference scheme. Plots show 2D slices across the XY-plane at the center of the cube to reveal the symmetrical heating pattern. (Python, Jan 2023)
todo: grab some more visuals from TAM470 (plots from hw) and ATMS 502 (Fortran, shell, shell scripting, using TACC supercomputer, animations)
todo: check to see if I am allowed to post ArcGIS screengrabs or if it all falls under the NDA

Research poster for the work conducted during summer '22. This has been presented multiple times, both in person and online. This includes invitations to present in person at UIUC, as well as being accepted by Purdue to present virtually. This poster has also been used by my research partner to present at an ASABE conference in Puerto Rico.
The writing, photos, and graphics are done by me. Multiple versions of this poster have been made in order to meet the needs of each presentation format. The most recent version is always available at the evergreen link here. (Last updated Dec 2022)
Informal poster designed for my senior capstone project where we used soil sensors to create a proof-of-concept prototype to automate a USDA researchers drought and nitrogen experiments. This was used in conjunction with a video and rotating slideshow during a project showcase.
The design and implementation of the control system were a central struggle in this project. Needing to fit the entire system inside a growth chamber was difficult enough, but we also had to ensure the reliability and safety of having constant water and power supplied to the system compounded this challenge. Final version here. (May 2023)
Field Work
Field Work
A collection of images from working for the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) agency. Most of my work involved creating construction design plans that fit the land owner/user's needs into the strict guidelines the NRCS has set. Site visits were always a welcome trip out of the office, but many trips took over an hour one way. This made it paramount to go out with a detailed list of data to collect. (Oct 2023 -July 2024)

Irrigation installation at an educational nursery in Cataño, Puerto Rico. Operated on a time crunch with limited tools and space. During installation, we had to balance focusing on local sourcing while maintaining budget constraints without sacrificing function. (Jul 2022)
Photographed here working on one of the 7 precision agriculture FarmBots I helped construct and troubleshoot in person. In conjunction with Illinois 4H Extension, we were able to lend unconstructed kits of this robot to educational agro-robotic programs for K-12 future innovators throughout Illinois. During my time with 4H, we created a network between our education sites where we learned from each other. The written documentation I developed aided instructors in constructing, troubleshooting, and running these devices. I am proud to say that this documentation continues to be referenced today by teachers and university research teams from multiple institutions alike. (Aug 2021 - Sep 2022)

A range of emotions splatters across the faces of our protagonists as they push the boundaries of prior knowledge using math and science. Focus meets fear and a frenzied feverishness, as they realize what horrors they've uncovered and created. This is why it is important to keep ethics and morality in mind so we understand the consequences of the work we conduct. (Oct 2022)
