Completed Degrees

  • Master of Computer Science:   Western Washington University,  2023
  • Focused on machine learning. Master's project was grant-funded and involved comparing various deep learning models in smart-building HVAC load forecasting predictions, and simulating large amounts of data using Energy Plus on a distributed compute cluster. Most challenging class was Operating System Internals: CSCI 509. Other noteworthy courses include Deep Learning: CSCI 581, and Computational Linguistics: CSCI 573. See transcripts below for a complete list of courses and grades.

  • Master of Science, MS-Mathematics:   Western Washington University,  2019
  • Focused on analysis and statistics. Master's project was in Bayesian Decision Theory, which included a toy lunar lander control problem involving combining prior knowledge of various site resources with image data gathered during landing, and using the resulting posterior probability distribution to find an optimal path between various sites to traverse after landing.

  • BA | BS:  Computer Science | Math | Physics:   The Evergreen State College,  2017
  • I began my academic career interested in chemistry, which led me to physics. Physics led me to math, statistics, and computer science.
