• RAY program for undergraduates with Professor Adam Muzzin and Dr. Leo Alcorn in galaxy evolution and galaxy cluster kinematics.
• Using GOGREEN photometric data and FAST++ stellar population modeling in python
• Looked closely at an unusual galaxy within SpARCS 1613 cluster
• with Astropy and other data modeling packages, I Analyzed the star formation history and cluster dynamics that influence this unusual over consumption process of a galaxy as it interacts with its host cluster gravitational potential and intra-cluster gas, rapidly shutting off the star-formation via environmental quenching.
• Second authored the paper and submitted to

Astrophysical Journal Letters.

• Worked closely with with Dr Hossen Teimoorinia at NRC Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre and University of Victoria and Dr Jillian Scudder at Oberlin College.
• In charge of handling and predicting missing data.
• Used ANN based calibrations to predict the emission lines in galaxies which used for metallicities using MaNGA data.
• Second authored the paper and submitted to

Astrophysical Journal Letters.

• Designed and developed a web-based immigration form, significantly improving immigration process and filing efficiency using PHP, JavaScript, SQL, and HTML
• Established an interactive and dynamic website that guarantees high traffic, page views, and maximum user experience, generating 45% increase in the company’s revenue.

• Recorded data and maintained source documentation following good documentation practices.
• Developed more efficient methods in python to study and analyze the comet data sample that was observed using PTF survey.
• Planned, modified and executed research techniques, procedures and tests.
