I'm an undergraduate nuclear engineering student at Texas A&M, currently doing precision-measurement physics at the Cyclotron Institute! I really like understanding things from first principles, building the instrument, deriving the math, then finding where it connects to everything else.

My long-term goal is working on magnetic confinement for fusion energy, but for now I'm lucky enough to work on some genuinely beautiful physics up close, and it's humbling how far first principles get you.

• TAMUTRAP: Research on a cylindrical Penning trap measuring β–ν angular correlations in nuclear beta decay, searching for physics beyond the Standard Model.
• LSTAR: I built the control system for the Cyclotron Institute's isobar separator, multipole ion optics driving a high-voltage crate over SNMP, cleaning the ion beam to a mass resolving power of M/ΔM ≥ 5000!

TAMUTRAP-timing: The control software for TAMUTRAP's pulsed timing chain. It turns high-level pulse descriptions into low-level SpinCore PulseBlaster instructions so the trap catches ions at the right microsecond. One pure-Python core drives both a Tkinter operator GUI and a headless EPICS IOC. Every mode can run dry, with or without the hardware present. Python · SpinAPI · caproto (EPICS) · Tkinter

LSTAR-MPOD-control: The production control software for LSTAR. It computes electrode voltages from physics parameters (quadrupole / hexapole / octupole strengths), driving a WIENER MPOD crate over SNMP, with three-layer safety validation, audit logging, and both GUI and CLI frontends.

• Hall-effect magnetometer: built from first principles, Biot–Savart, vector calculus, calibration. (Repo coming soon)
• Guitar acoustic-resonance mapper: Helmholtz resonance and the wave equation on a bounded domain, via FFT. (Repo coming soon)
• Car DAQ / road-grade estimator: ESP32 + OBDII, Kalman-filter sensor fusion for a quantity the car never measures directly (Currently on hold as I get my car repaired)

I keep a public digital garden! These are working notes and half-formed ideas across physics, math, and engineering, from tacos to Penning traps.
