Welcome to Michael Holm's Portfolio

About me

I'm currently a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student at Purdue University, studying dynamic system identification through machine learning using neural operators. Specifically, I'm developing ways to improve the flexibility of the Laplace Neural Operator [1]. I'm also developing computer vision tools for use in defect analysis of irradiated materials.

Along with being a Ph.D. student, I work at Sandia National Labaratories as an R&D intern. I work there part time during the school year, and have spent the past two summers in New Mexico working there full time. While there, I have gotten additional experience in machine learning, neural networks, and data analysis.

In my free time, I enjoy running, lifting, astrophotography, playing the piano, and hiking. I recently hiked about 50 miles in Yellowstone National Park with two of my friends, and have hiked in the Grand Canyon, many different national forests, some of the Appalachian Trail, and in the Rocky Mountains.
