      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

    • Front End Web Developer
      • 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.
