Led multiple weekly lab sections for Sophomore physics students in Physics 20AL.Prepared weekly lesson plans and remained available for questions and concerns regarding experimental lab work.

DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is the leading international neutrino and proton-decay experiment, with the goal of understanding the oscillatory nature of neutrinos as well as determining the neutrino mass ordering.Taught myself C++ and ROOT in order to compare statistical approaches of developing a best fit hypothesis for different high energy experiments, with an eventual result of a statistics package involving simulated data for statistical analysis, and a coherent examination of correlations between distributions.Developing programs for different aspects of data analysis including a chi-squared distribution histogram involving a large magnitude of pseudoexperiments as well as 2d-histograms to identify which HNL (Heavy Neutral Leptons) Mass value results in the highest sensitivity.Generated large scale library of order 104 number of entries, consisting of simulated detector results, with generalized sorting algorithms and effective data extraction for application of high level machine learning algorithms.Applied Machine Learning algorithm of Linearized Optimal Transport to detector simulations generated by GEANT-4 to classify particle tracks more effectively.Supervised a fellow Undergraduate Research assistant within the research group to further the productivity surrounding the project, assigning certain portions of the project and providing assistance whenever needed.

Assisted in leading 3, ≈ 30 student, sections for a math methods in physics course, specializing in linear algebra for quantum physics.Learned methods of teaching physics to college students through multiple discussion sections every week.

Developed specific teaching methods which suited each of my 100+ students at Mathnasium.Specialized in Calculus but worked with all levels of math, from elementary to high school.Reformed my instruction to fit the online model after the business was forced to move online due to Covid-19.Assumed more leadership within the online platform as the primary online instructor.Accommodated the various needs for the children I instructed and developed quick and easy ways to introduce them to the online platform.

Phd, High Energy Experimental Physics
