About Me
Connor joined the Engineering honors program at the University of Utah in 2023 and is expected to receive a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Aerospace Engineering and a Minor in Ecology. Before joining this program, Connor spent several years in the Fiber Optic and Automotive industries. He loves to think critically and construct solutions for real-life problems. He hopes to build a strong foundation in dynamical systems and materials through this program at the U. With a strong affinity for manufacturing and design, Connor jumped at the opportunity to work on designs for a custom electrophysiology experimental system to study the retina and its degenerative diseases. In the lab, he designs and fabricates custom parts and develops solutions for retinal research. Outside of the lab, Connor enjoys traveling to new places and seeking out new skills, but frequently returns back to fishing, hunting, rock climbing, and working on cars and motorcycles.
