About
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the
University of California San Diego based in the
Center for Visual Computing and the
Department of Music. My research covers
mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of physical systems with an emphasis on
differential geometry and wave motion. I am especially interested in applications of physics simulation in
music technology and auditory biophysics. My Ph.D. is co-advised by
Albert Chern and
Miller Puckette.
In addition to my academic experience, I have worked for
Reality Labs Research at Meta,
Moog Music,
Applied Research in Acoustics, and Lofelt.
In these roles, I completed research and software development for spatial audio devices, sound synthesizers, sonar systems, and gaming headphones. Prior to my Ph.D., I studied physics at Edinburgh,
Wake Forest, and BYU,
with concentrations in acoustics, optics, and biophysics, respectively. Additionally, I tutored college and high school students in math and physics. Originally from Los Angeles,
I now live in San Diego with my wife and three daughters.
