I am currently a PhD candidate at Brigham Young University. My research is focused around the fluid dynamics associated with the oblique free surface of highly deformable spheres. I have conducted research on urinal splash dynamics, which simplifies to droplet impacts into thin liquid films. This work was featured by the BBC and Wired magazine. I also work as a volunteer administrator for an ROV outreach program in central Utah known as Utah Underwater Robotics and study the affect of this program on student interest in STEM education.
