I'm currently a PhD student at the University of Minnesota working on 3D computer vision with applications in medicine and precision agriculture. See my résumé for contact information.
Below is my résumé and a listing of my current and previous works in reverse chronological order. While I currently work in the areas of computer vision and robotics, my undergraduate education was in physics so the oldest entries are slightly different than the more recent works.
I also use this site to host temperature data for personal use.
