I am working with Dr. Alex Chasapis to determine which instruments aboard the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) satellites produce the most accurate measurement of the heliosphere's current. To accomplish this, I am currently organizing hundreds of thousands of measured magnetic field data points from MMS to calculate the magnetic field's gradient. I must do this for the four spacecraft within this mission and once accomplished the heliosphere's current will be determined for one instrument type. I will repeat this process for a different instrument measuring the velocity of the plasma within the solar wind, and then perform an error analysis on the two methods. Show less

-Designed an 18% more efficient storage system for quantum computers using hybrid-magnonics by collaborating on research findings to control phonons inside of an yttrium-iron-garnet crystal. -To accomplish this, I simulated how a crystal is used to confine the data storing particles of the computer in COMSOL Multiphysics. Using the finite element method, I fine-tuned the crystal’s geometry to negate any particle losses resulting in an 18% increase in data transfer efficiency. -These results were then backed up by using elastic wave theory to prove the equations also produce the same 18% improvement through analytical means.
