About
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Hi, my name is Warren. I am a rising senior at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, |
| where I am studying computer science and mathematics. I am passionate about robotics and |
| embedded systems programming. In my free time, I am on the Carleton NCAA Swim and Dive |
| team, and I enjoy longboarding and reading science fiction. Check out my GitHub profile |
| to see projects that I am currently working on! |
| |
| I spent last summer up in Evanston, Illinois at Northwestern University, where I was |
| researching the use of custom wearable devices to aid in competitive swimming training. |
| Check out the link below to see more about this. This summer I'm working at Garmin as a |
| software engineering intern with the GNSS platforms team in Olathe, KS. |

Selected Research and Projects
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ~
Swimming Wearable Study ~
poster ~
repo |
| Here you can find my code and poster for the 2025 AI, privacy, and security NSF REU at |
| Northwestern University. I worked on programming a Seed Studio XIAO nrf52840 Sense board |
| to collect a dataset of IMU readings during competitive swimming. This poster was |
| presented at the Carleton College Undergraduate Research Symposium (October 2025). |

ROS2 Pursuit/Evasion ~
paper ~
repo |
| This paper serves as an overview of some of the current methods for single robot pursuit |
| and evasion, as well as a simple implementation of a swarm algorithm for robot pursuit. |
| All robots are simulated in Gazebo. This research was conducted as part of the Carleton |
| course CS 327: Introduction to Robotics. (In Progress) |
| |
| ~
T5-Harmony ~
paper ~
repo |
| The T5 language model is a series of encoder-decoder models developed by Google. In this |
| paper, we seek to answer whether encoder-decoder models are successfuly not only at |
| modelling and generating natural language, but also harmony structures present in music. |
| This research was conducted as part of the Carleton course CS 322: Natural Language |
| Processing. |
