Degree Program: Industrial Engineering & Operations Research Undergraduate Student
Expected Graduation: May 2026
Area(s) of Interest: I am a fourth-year undergraduate student, raised in the Central Valley, with a background in human factors engineering, construction management, optimization, and machine learning. I am part of the UC LEADS program, a University of California initiative that prepares undergraduates from diverse backgrounds for graduate study through research, mentorship, and professional development. I conducted research at the Ergonomics and Human Factors Lab at UC Berkeley, where I investigated the optimal number of workers and minutes of video analysis necessary to accurately calculate risk measurement metrics such as repetition rate and duty cycle. I also conducted research at UC Santa Barbara, where I built data-driven models to forecast temperature in the field of industrial refrigeration. Moving forward, I am interested in pursuing graduate research that integrates data-driven methods with human-centered design to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability in engineering systems.
