PROFILE

Kyle Hickmann

During May 2025, Hickmann developed a Policy Network Training Harness for the lanl/Yoke repository, targeting distributed training prototyping of Layered Shaped Charge (LSC) policy networks. Leveraging PyTorch Distributed Data Parallel (DDP), Python, and Bash, Hickmann engineered an end-to-end workflow that included configuration files, shell scripts, and a Python training entrypoint. This infrastructure enabled scalable, reproducible experimentation with LSC geometry policy networks, streamlining research throughput and standardizing training pipelines. The work, traceable to a specific commit, demonstrated depth in distributed systems and deep learning, providing a robust foundation for evaluating new policy designs in a collaborative research environment.
