Nathan joined the IDeA Labs in 2011 and performed research in self-enforcing cooperation in a competitive supplier market, vulnerability in closed-loop systems, and farming as feedback-control. His research into vulnerability became the topic of his undergraduate thesis. Nathan graduated with honors in 2013 with degrees in Management (emphasis in Entrepreneurship) and Computer Science, with a minor in Mathematics.

After graduating, Nathan continued to study under Dr. Warnick in the IDeA Labs while pursuing a Master’s and a PhD in Computer Science, where his research centered around the representation, abstractions, and reconstruction of dynamic networks.

Nathan has been the recipient of a BYU full-tuition scholarship, the Chandler Joseph Jenkins Scholarship, and the Max T. and Rella R. Williams Endowed Scholarship in Entrepreneurial Studies. He is a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Beta Gamma Sigma.
