Projects and Research

N-body Galaxy Simulation

I Created a python package that is able to simulate the movement of gas throughout galaxies using gravity and fluid physics. 

The package allows for simple generation and simulation of exponential disk galaxies with proper initial conditions.

Machine Learned Emulator of  the Extragalactic Background Light

I worked at NASA Jet Propulsion Lab to help create a faster pipeline analyze data from the future space telescope SPHEREx.

I fit complex models of the Extragalactic Background Light to a deConvolutional Neural Network increasing the speed of analysis by many orders of magnitude.

CubeSat

I lead the design of the main payload of the Yale CubeSat. Its Cosmic Ray Detector.

Blazar Relativistic Jets

I worked to represent the relationship between the angle of relativistic jets pointed at us and their apparent luminosity using real data. 

I wrote a paper and gave a symposium presentation as a part of the Yale STARS Summer program

Silicon-Based Life

I performed an adaptation of the Miller-Urey Experiment to test if different planetary conditions could spawn silicon-based life.

My video on the subject was also a finalist in the Breakthrough Junior Video Competion.

MOSTEC Science Writing

My science writing article on what a 4D Universe could look like was published in MOSTEC Best of Science Writing (MIT Online Science, Technology, and Engineering Community  but now under MITES).
