Experience

  • 2023
    Undergraduate Researcher
    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
  • 2021, 2022
    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
