Hello my name is Kyle O'Hara. I grew up in Santa Cruz and attended Cabrillo College from 2011-2014 before transferring to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. After completing my BS in 2016, I began graduate school at UC Davis. I completed my MS in 2019 and am currently pursuing my PhD. Specifically, I study soil-structure interactions and how geometric patterns can be used to create more efficient load transfer for foundations.
