University of Florida Dark Cosmos Lab

• Researcher

  • Aug 2018 - Jun 2020

  Since August 2018, I have been a researcher for the Dark Cosmos Group in the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) labs. Previous research work included a project related to LISA thermal noise suppression. This project involved materials science, data processing, and instrument science. Current research work includes developing a system for mode-mismatch correction and phase noise characterization for LIGO. This project involves optics, control theory, high-performance imaging, data processing, and instrument science. Show less

• Research Internship

  • May 2019 - Aug 2019

  During my NOAA Hollings Scholar internship, I was granted an outstanding opportunity to intern at NASA Goddard in the Flight Project division of the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). JPSS satellites have and will continue to provide major contributions to National Weather Service (NWS) and international weather models for decades to come. I was specifically tasked with evaluating anomalies and proposing anomaly prevention strategies from my research. Special interest in my research was applied to the spacecraft's instruments.

• Research Internship

  • May 2018 - Aug 2018

  Developed a Dynamic Programming algorithm for the selection of performance Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) powertrains. The project was performed under the mentorship of Dr. Shawn Midlam-Mohler in OSU's SIMCenter for the student run EcoCAR competition team. The algorithm was tasked with balancing tradeoffs on the Pareto front such as fuel-efficiency, acceleration, and weight. The internship opportunity was presented by the Big Ten Academic Alliance Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP). The work was presented in both oral and poster presentations at an end-of-internship SROP symposium. Show less



St. Thomas University Summer Research Institute (SRI)

• Research Internship

  • May 2017 - Jul 2017

  Tasked with studying the microclimate of an urban forest and adjacent areas in Miami, Fl, I developed a method to collect data in the field and through autonomous micro-weather stations to feed into a microclimate visualization product I developed. The product was written in R and the results of the internship was published as a conference proceeding (https://doi.org/10.3390/mol2net-03-05101). The research was done under the guidance Dr. David Quesada and help of Dr. Reinaldo Sanchez-Arias.
