  I am researching and writing about the current progress of fusion devices. My goal is to help foster an active conversation and an awareness about this new source of green energy to allow for its rapid deployment when it becomes technologically viable.

  For the first summer, I did multiple smaller tasks such as creating a model cloud to simulate scattering effects. The past couple summers I helped to design and run a field test to determine long range atmospheric scattering, transmittance, and turbulence effects.

  I characterized the optical properties of a bulk aluminum nitride crystal. The results were published in a paper called "Optical dispersion and phase matching in gallium nitride and aluminum nitride" in the March 2018 edition of Optical Materials Express.
