Research Projects

• Undergraduate Researcher in Astrophysics - Characterizing Giant-Exoplanets around M-Dwarf Stars using Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo algorithms on data from TESS, HPF, and other telescopes to support research on planetary formation, with a paper in progress for submission to AAS Journals.
• Undergraduate Researcher in Particle Physics - Worked with the UCI ATLAS collaboration at CERN in Geneva, attended CERN Summer Student lectures, and analyzed simulated collider data using Python, ROOT, and MadGraph to improve theoretical understanding of particle processes.
• Undergraduate Researcher in Particle Astrophysics - Investigated unresolved gamma ray emission excess at the Milky Way's galactic center using machine learning to generate gamma ray maps, created Python scripts for data analysis with MatPlotLib, and regularly presented and defended research at weekly meetings with grad students and the lead professor.
