I am an assistant professor of mathematics and CMDA at Virginia Tech. My research interests lie at the intersection of inverse problems, deep learning, and high-performance computing. My work is motivated by problems in science with extreme data and compute scales. I also enjoy in woodworking, photography, hiking, and visiting our national parks. I am available for consulting.

Or, how I eat my cake and have it too.
Why Hugo?
Because I had never used it before.
A Cedar Toy Chest
Prior to my son’s 2nd birthday, I decided that I wanted to build an heirloom cedar toy chest for him. I had hoped to complete it by the following Christmas. Untold working hours and right on time, it is complete.
I have tons of photos of the build process that I’ve included below. You can also see the full gallery on my SmugMug account.
Design I searched far and wide for plans that I liked for the chest but did not come across anything that was ready-made.
Tea Box with Mountain Scene
A close friend of mine asked me if, instead of buying them anything for Christmas, I would consider making he and his wife a tea box. I had only ever made one thing similar to this, but thought it was a nice idea. 80 working hours later, this was the result:

This was the first major woodworking project that I did the design work using Autodesk Fusion 360 (free, enthusiast license).
