Work History
Researcher
Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics
09.2024 - Current
- Studied bars in hundreds of galaxies to classify them into slow/fast and weak/strong categories.
- Looked into potential differences in galaxies based on bar strength and speed by creating distribution plots of results.
- Used statistical methods to determine the validity of results.
- Found results matching simulation data providing a new hypothesis to the effects of bar kinematics.
- Presented results to collection of peers and researchers
Intern

- Studied young stellar object Orion SrcI to determine kinematic properties.
- Used Python libraries AstroPy, NumPy, and SciPy to determine 3 separate velocity components of H2O found in protostar disk and outflow.
- Developed new methods for solving velocity gradients to account for strange proper regions.H2O gas..
- Determined velocity results which lined up with other gases found in all protostar regions
