My field has always been physical: motors, switchgear, microcontrollers. But the questions I keep coming back to aren't really electrical — they're statistical. How long before this bearing fails? Is this signal a fault, or just noise? What does this engine's healthy behaviour actually look like, and when does it start to drift?
So I've spent the last two years moving deeper into machine learning for physical systems — Bayesian uncertainty on dielectron data, sensor-fusion SLAM on mobile robots, and now an industrial-grade digital twin for my final-year project, modelled on the most recent prognostics literature.
"I'm not interested in ML as an abstract object. I want it to know my machines as well as my machines know themselves."
When I'm not building, I'm contributing to the open-source scientific tools I rely on — three merged PRs to ROOT and one to the ROS 2 controllers stack. In April 2026 I head to Saint Mary's University, Halifax on the MITACS Globalink Research Internship for multi-sensor SLAM on mobile robots — a competitive program funded by the Government of Canada.
