Non-uniformly hyperbolic endomorphisms
We show that in nearly every homotopy class of any non-invertible endomorphism of the two-torus there exists a C^1 open set of non-uniformly hyperbolic area preserving maps (one positive and one negative exponent at Lebesgue almost every point), w...

Trainability barriers and opportunities in quantum generative modeling
Quantum generative models, in providing inherently efficient sampling strategies, show promise for achieving a near-term advantage on quantum hardware. Nonetheless, important questions remain regarding their scalability. In this work, we investig...

Variable Stiffness Footwear
This project is designed to allow overground experiments for studying human motor adaptation to changing ground stiffness, with eventual applications toward restoring weight bearing symmetry after stroke. To accomplish this, we are designing a wea...

AdjuSST: Adjustable Surface Stiffness Treadmill
I led the design and fabrication of an adjustable surface stiffness treadmill at UMass Amherst. This treadmill is designed to deflect vertically under load using a flexible cantilever beam suspension. We can adjust the vertical stiffness in real-t...

Floating Offshore Wind Farms
Electricity usage in the United States doubled from 2.0 trillion to 4.0 trillion KWh between 1982 and 2022. Although demand has plateaued recently, projections suggest U.S. electricity consumption will continue to increase alongside demands for al...

Mobile 2-DoF Non-Anthropomorphic Transtibial Prosthesis
I designed and built a novel powered two degree-of-freedom transtibial prosthesis as a test platform for experimentally testing simulation findings of optimal gait with a generic prosthesis model. This design features a non-anthropomorphic anterio...
