I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering, Brigham Young University (BYU), advised by
Philip Lundrigan. As a Network
Researcher in the NET Lab,
I make systems more intelligent, adaptable, and resilient.
Before starting my PhD, I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Engineering with
a minor in Computer Science at BYU in 2021.
My research interests include sensor networks, IoT resilience, and
systems engineering. I am particularly interested in how these fields
can be leveraged to enhance the capability of simple systems without adding
extra hardware to the architecture.
