Joshua M.

I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering EIT focused on experimental testing, data analysis, and model-based design. I recently led a capstone project on flexible-body dynamics and taper optimization, where I built an XPBD-based physics simulation, developed an optimization tool for design recommendations, and validated results through model-to-test comparison across 10+ prototypes.

Previously, I worked as an undergraduate researcher in USU’s ASPIRE Lab performing low-temperature durability testing of epoxy polymers and co-authored a SAMPE Journal paper on the water-induced response of 3D-printed SCF/ABS composites.

Outside coursework, I led a 110+ member student performance club and used it as a testbed for capstone measurement, prototyping, and validation.
