Portland, Oregon, United States

Published on de novo molecular design for materials science (OLEDs). Developed a semi-automated pipeline for taking molecules and AlphaFold2 predicted protein structures through induced-fit docking molecular dynamics (IFD-MD) and free energy perturbation (FEP).

Portland, Oregon

Applied machine learning to drug discovery. Areas of interest included QSAR modeling, de novo molecular design, and unsupervised/self-supervised learning for chemistry.

Portland, Oregon

Fought disease with code.Pioneered the first deep learning project at Schrödinger. The project utilized advanced deep learning algorithms, at the time, particularly convolutional and recurrent neural networks with attention, implemented in TensorFlow, later ported to PyTorch.

Represented BYU at two technical leadership training conferences in Las Vegas.Autodesk Maya 2012 certified professional, 3ds Max 2012 certified professional, Inventor certified associate.

Salt Lake City

Developed autologous fibrin glue. Designed and conducted experiments utilizing separations techniques, assays, and advanced materials. Presented results to company leadership.

Brigham Young University

Managed a team to complete a project within tight time and budget constraints. Designed, digitally prototyped, and manufactured a peristaltic turbine.

Developed autologous fibrin glue. Increased experimental throughput 24x. Decreased turnaround time 65% by simplifying the experimental process.
