Where are you from?
Warren, Michigan
What are your academic and/or technical interests?
My primary academic interests are in cybersecurity and autonomous driving systems. I’m particularly interested in how secure, reliable software can be developed for complex, real-time systems like autonomous vehicles, where both safety and data integrity are critical. I enjoy exploring how algorithms, data analysis, and system design come together to solve problems at scale, especially in environments where performance and security must work hand in hand. As I continue my studies in computer science, I’m looking to deepen my understanding of how these fields intersect with high-performance computing and AI.
Do you have any hobbies?
Outside of academics, I enjoy staying active and spending time with friends, especially playing basketball. I also enjoy gaming in my free time, particularly eSports games like Valorant, Counter-Strike, and Rainbow Six Siege.
What are you most excited about for this program?
I’m most excited about the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with high-performance computing and learn how it’s applied to real-world scientific and engineering problems. I’m especially interested in seeing how HPC supports areas like AI, large-scale simulations, and complex system modeling, which directly relate to my interests in autonomous systems and data analysis. Beyond the technical skills, I’m also looking forward to collaborating with peers and mentors, learning from their experiences, and being part of a community that is passionate about solving challenging problems.
