Worked under Dr. Angela Biselli to study Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering on the DeuteronTasks include:- Analyze data from Jefferson Lab in Virginia to study Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) off a deuteron- Creation of histograms and scatterplots to understand correlation between variables and identify trends in data for “good” events allowing the data to be cut by 90% - Development and maintenance of Java analysis code, reusable for different data sets; Utilize Object-Oriented style of programming - Extracted a preliminary Beam Spin Asymmetry (BSA) of the deuteron which is the first of its kind- Created a machine learning model using Python for better particle identification using Monte Carlo generated data as training data - Data visualization using Seaborn, Matplotlib to identify trends - Created model using Logistic Regression, KNN, and Random Forest Classifier - Validate model ensuring model accuracy on real data - Implement model in Java analysis codes by extracting weights from ML modelPresentations: - presented to the Sigma Xi community at Fairfield University with the title "Analysis of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering off a Deuteron"- Poster presentation with title "Analysis of Coherent Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering off a Deuteron" at the APS DNP Fall meeting 2021 Show less

I worked under Dr. Andrew O'Hara and Prof. Sokrates Pantelides of Vanderbilt University on designing the first truly monolayer ferroelectric using hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Tasks include: - Utilized Density Functional Theory computer codes to explore ways to theorize the first monolayer ferroelectric material - Analyzed results to determine additional testing and feasibility of creating the material experimentally in the lab - Data visualization using Python libraries and Microsoft Excel to plot data - Developed Python script to read output data file and synthesize results - Documented results by writing a manuscript to be published in physics journal in early 2022 - Communicated findings at two national conference making results understandable to audience with varying degrees of physics knowledge Presentations of this research - Poster presentation at SACNAS 2020 titled "Creation of a Monolayer Ferroelectric using Substitutional Impurities" - Gave a talk with the same title at APS March Meeting 2021 - A paper showcasing this research is currently being written Show less

Sep 2019 - Dec 2019
As part of the Web Development class at Fairfield University, I helped create a new website for Storehouse Project, a nonprofit organization in CT. I met with the client on a regular basis to meet their expectations and provide better communication and clarity. To do this, I used HTML and CSS to create a responsive and accessible website.
