Ph.D. Candidate Geophysics 2018-Present
SEPTEMBER 2018 to PRESENT
Using computational models to explore volcanic flows at high and low Reynolds numbers, from complex Finite Volume models to simple parameterized models. Advised by Joe Dufek and Leif Karlstrom.
JUNE 2020 to JUNE 2021
Writing popular science articles for APS Physics Central Blog based on recently published papers. Topics range from planetary science to material science.
OCTOBER 2016 to JUNE 2018
Led team of 50+ interdisciplinary engineers and scientist to build a 50 kg semi-autonomous Mars rover for international competition. Raised over $15,000 for the team and built my own Raman Spectrometer.
JUNE 2017 to DECEMBER 2017
Using computational models to explore volcanic flows at high and low Reynolds numbers, from complex Finite Volume models to simple parameterized models.
MAY 2016 to AUGUST 2016
Measured sulfur isotope ratios in homoenized and quenched melt inclusions from the Pinatubo Dacite using the Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer at WHOI and Electron Microprobe at AMNH. Advised by Adrian Fiege.
DECEMBER 2015 to JUNE 2017
Worked in a clean lab to measure highly siderophile elements and used equipment such as the LA-ICPMS to measure meteorite and basalt samples. Developed climate model to evaluate methane release from flood basalts. Advised by James Day.
I work with undergraduates interested in physics, geology, and planetary science to help them develop research skills such as reading papers, python programming, and literature reviews.
