• Editor in Chief of the Rice Thresher

  • Mar 2012 - Feb 2013

  Manage a staff of approximately 60 students and a yearly budget of about $100,000, edit all sections, oversee publication, and represent the newspaper. This year, the paper was named fourth best in show among four-year weekly tabloids by the Associated Collegiate Press and best newspaper among schools with fewer than 5,000 students by the College Media Association.

• Editor/Writer for the Rice Thresher

  • Sep 2009 - Feb 2012

  Research news stories and organize and prepare the section for publication.

• Bonner Lab Summer Intern

  • Jun 2011 - Aug 2011

  Work with the Trigger Menu Development group at CERN to write a macro using Root which would examine the effect of increasing luminosity on various triggers so that the requirements for these to fire could be tightened as necessary as the beam luminosity at the LHC was increased.

• Bonner Lab Summer Intern

  • May 2010 - Aug 2010

  Use Pythia and Root to simulate and analyze particle collisions and analyze data collected at the Compact Muon Solenoid at the Large Hadron Collider.

  • Jun 2012 - Aug 2012

  Work in the Radiation Physics department. Use Monte Carlo simulator Geant4 to build a simulation to investigate the effects of aperture scattering in proton therapy. The simulation compares the energy depositions of identical proton beams of varying energy in a water phantom depending on whether the aperture the beams go through scatters particles or kills them when contact is made.
