Framingham State University - Christa McAuliffe Center

• Astronomy Education Intern

  • Jun 2020 - Jul 2020

  Created a complete educational module on the cosmic microwave background and adapted it for use both in the planetarium and as a virtual planetarium show to be viewed on any home computer. Took into account the age range of planetarium visitors as well as the wide variety of backgrounds in astronomy, and worked to create a module that would be interesting and challenging for everyone, regardless of these varying factors.

  • Jan 2018 - May 2020

  Conducted biweekly group-focused drop-in tutoring hours as well as working with individual students. I helped students with math skills, problem-solving, and course material relevant to the introductory astronomy courses, while working closely with Astronomy Department professors to determine the best way to help students while also building their self-confidence and ensuring that they develop the skills to excel in the course Conducted biweekly group-focused drop-in tutoring hours as well as working with individual students.

  • Jun 2019 - Aug 2019

  Designed and constructed a photon-number-resolving detector for optimal discrimination of optical states. Built a source to consistently generate single-mode thermal light. Worked independently in an optics lab and presented research in poster format at the end of the summer.

  • May 2018 - Jul 2018

  I had the opportunity to do summer research at CERN through the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory REU program. For the first four weeks, I worked at Duke on the testing system for the new silicon modules for the ATLAS detector upgrade. At CERN, I worked to create a machine learning tool to distinguish quark jets from gluon jets based on the particle flow algorithm and the substructure of the jets.

• Educational Research in Radio Astronomy Program

  • Aug 2017 - Aug 2017

  As a student, I worked under the supervision of Dr. Dan Reichart and other physics and astronomy professors at UNC Chapel Hill. We used a 40-foot radio telescope to collect data on the shape of the Milky Way, the Doppler shift of different portions of the galaxy, the brightness of the Moon, and the period of extremely faint pulsars. I also learned to use Skynet to take observations of the Andromeda galaxy using a 20-meter radio telescope, and I analyzed these observations to create a true-color and false-color image of Andromeda as well as an estimate of the galaxy’s speed towards us. Skynet also helped me take optical images of deep-sky objects using the PROMPT telescopes in Chile. Over the course of the program, I collaborated efficiently with students from all over the country to collect and analyze data, and eventually made four final presentations to the entire team.

• Summer Research Intern

  • May 2017 - Aug 2017

  As a research intern, I worked under Dr. Matthew Szydagis in the Physics Department. I used C++, Geant4, and the Linux operating system to simulate a new kind of dark matter detector, and I analyzed simulation data and created plots using CERN Root, LoggerPro and Microsoft Excel. In addition, I presented at weekly meetings to the research team and others in the physics department. As a research intern, I worked under Dr. Matthew Szydagis in the Physics Department.
