Graded problem sets for the 1000-level undergraduate astronomy course Stars & AtomsVerified correctness of problem set solutions Identified topics with which students were struggling and provided feedback

- Collaborated with Professor Mordecai-Mark Mac Low and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Aleksandra Kuznetsova in computational astrophysics- Simulated protoplanetary disk environments to investigate how perturbations to the gas pressure gradient resulting from infall of material onto the disk are related to variation in the dust continuum emission of a substructured disk- Developed proficiency in the radiative transfer program RADMC3D in Python- Accepted to winter American Astronomical Society meeting to present project results

- Completed a compendium of information about supernova neutrinos and the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS) to learn about preparation needed for the detection of the next core-collapse supernova in the local universe- Completed a supervised reading with Professor Szabolcs Marka on a gravitational wave data analysis research paper to learn about measuring the power of the wave and localizing the source position
