Research Associate

Garrett joined IHMC as a Research Associate in August 2024 working on the KENNEL project. He originally came to IHMC on a summer internship in 2021 working with Dr. Niranjan Suri and Daniel Duran.

His work has focused on the design, integration, and testing of various Internet of Things platforms. In that work he designed low-cost and low-power systems for power managements, sensing, and communication, created minor software for handling sensor data, and embedded programming for sensor and system management.

He graduated from Pensacola Christian College with bachelor’s degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics. He is interested in designing systems to solve problems in everyday life and specialized applications. He believes that IHMC offers the chance to further his skill set and he believes that an elegant and beautiful solution will be more reliable than an expensive and complex solution.

Outside of work and school, Garrett enjoys exploring topics in math and tinkering with engineering projects including remote controlled cars, hydroponics, and a cool LED cube.
