PhD in Nuclear Physics

Texas A&M University

• GPA 4.0

Bachelor of Science in Physics

Texas A&M University

• With minors in Mathematics and Computer Science
• GPA 3.609

Graduate Research Assistant

Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute

Undergraduate Research Assistant

Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute

• Tested a new experimental technique to differentiate particles in a detector, revealing the detector's inability to distinguish between particles at desired energies, leading to substantial time and cost savings for the research group
• Designed new voltage signal analysis algorithms, giving rise to a substantial increase in particle identification ability over previous techniques
• Created C++ simulations to predict the viability of different experimental setups

Undergraduate Intern

Los Alamos National Laboratory

• Worked in P-3 High Energy Nuclear Physics under the supervision of Dr. Matt Durham
• Developed particle physics simulations featured in a research publication within Physical Review Letters, the most-cited journal in the field of physics
• Processed sizable physics data sets from CERN's Large Hadron Collider by writing scripts to analyze files with 10,000,000+ data points
• Designed a C++ simulation to model the propagation and decay of subatomic particles in Earth's atmosphere
• Worked in the laboratory on detector assembly and construction of a water-based electronics cooling system

Chemistry Department Intern

Los Alamos High School

• Graded homework, quizzes, and exams
• Helped students with classwork and homework
• Organized chemicals, prepared lab experiments, and kept lab space clean
