Cheeto joined HPC@UCD as a stray scholar-in-residence and has since established himself as a permanent fixture of academic life. Although lacking a formal degree, he has consistently demonstrated excellence in curiosity-driven research and has made significant contributions to the department’s morale and well-being.

His work primarily centers on applied Box Mechanics, Lap-Centered Gravitational Fields, and Quantum Paw-sitioning. In addition to his research, Cheeto provides ongoing mentorship to graduate students in stress management and snack awareness. He is also recognized for his expertise in sunbeam allocation studies and nap-energy conservation.

Outside the laboratory, Cheeto can often be found patrolling the Physics exterior, engaging in outreach with passing students, or conducting field studies on food dish availability.
