Hometown: Emmett, Idaho

Undergraduate: Brigham Young University, Provo

Program: MS Student

Joined EFD Lab: January 2018

Research Interests: Interested in the physics behind anything that involves modeling transport phenomena for environmental studies using CFD. Examples include smoke transport, emergency chemical release, particle growth, water droplet formation, atmospheric chemistry, and combustion. Currently learning about multiphase transport through porous media for use in a fuel moisture model for wildfires.
