ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING · UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA · CLASS OF 2028

I like building hardware
and knowing exactly why it works.

I'm Logan, an EE undergraduate at the University of Florida. I design and fabricate hardware, build the firmware that drives it, and do research on thermal-aware computing for mobile robots in the FOCUS Lab.

§01 / ABOUT

Critical thought, deliberative discussion.

I value critical thought and deliberative discussion to solve problems, regardless of the area of focus. My interest in electrical engineering grew from taking apart computer hardware, an incurable curiosity about how devices work, and a learning environment that encouraged chasing that curiosity. These days it points at analog and mixed-signal circuits, power electronics, VLSI, and optical sensing.

§02 / SELECTED WORK

Things I've built.

FLIR thermal camera on a tripod imaging a Jetson robot platform, live thermal view on a laptop
FOCUS LAB · SUBMITTED TO CORL 2026

EdgeTrain

Thermal-adaptive continual learning for robot-mounted edge GPUs. I built the thermal instrumentation: a calibrated FLIR imaging pipeline, a 150 W radiant-heat rig, and the DVFS characterization behind the paper's central claims.
