  • Sep 2019 - Aug 2020

  Primary Mentor: Professor Joshua SpitzI worked as a research assistant for the J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search At J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source (JSNS2) experiment. I worked with CERN’s ROOT, C++, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and physics simulations. I implemented a LED simulation for PMT gain calibration in JSNS2's detector. I also spearheaded an update for PMT waveform simulation in RAT, JSNS2's physics Monte Carlo simulation framework.

  Primary Mentor: Dr. Jose Ramon Crespo I learned how to assist in the operation of the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap (EBIT). I designed a replacement Collector for the Heidelberg EBIT. I gained experience in highly charged ion spectroscopy and EBIT maintenance.

  • Jun 2017 - Aug 2017

  Primary Mentor: Professor Stefan Westerhoff I processed High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) data to find and validate possible GeV level Gamma-Ray Burst candidates detections. I also helped debug errors in a HAWC GRB simulation used to verify GRB candidates. I gained experience in data processing, physics programing, and gamma-ray and cosmic ray detection methods.

  Primary Mentors: John W. Janusek and Keivan Stassun I studied the architecture of the ancient Andean Tiwanaku civilization while in Bolivia. The purpose was to uncover possible celestial alignments in Tiwanaku buildings and structures. I gained experience in doing research in a non-English language. Primary Mentors: John W.
