- Building a pipeline to observe astronomical masers with the Allen Telescope Array- Conducted observations of pulsars to study their behavior and scintillation patterns- Automated the process of creating observation schedules based on source visibility and properties

Redmond, Washington, United States

West Lafayette, Indiana, United States

- Leading a team of students to participate in the NASA SUITS competition, aimed at designing an augmented reality interface for astronauts to use in their spacesuits during extravehicular activities- Selected as one of 11 nationwide finalists to visit NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston to present and test our software in a simulated astronaut extravehicular activity- Awarded a NASA Artemis I mission flag, which flew around the moon on the Artemis I mission itself, as a result of our work in the NASA SUITS challenge- Raised ~$25000 in funding from Purdue's CS department for travel, outreach events, and development for the NASA SUITS challenge

Redmond, Washington, United States

- Enriched sampled data to allow geographic- and CDN-based analysis of internet traffic- Formulated a metric to estimate the average ping from user to internet edge (eg. user terminal to Google Edge server) based on content consumption, and used this to optimize user-to-point of presence homing- Reformulated capacity planning metrics to better inform high-cost hardware decisions such as the timing of server purchases or rack upgrades- Designed Delphi, a custom-built user-growth model to account for market demand and changing prices in order to more accurately predict user growth months into the future; replaced existing timeseries models such as Prophet, designed by Meta, as the relied-upon predictive model

Hat Creek, California, United States

- Created an automated radio frequency interference (RFI) flagging and cataloguing system to characterize the RFI environment at the Allen Telescope Array- Cross-matched detected RFI with known satellite positions to create a real-time updating database of known satellites around the ATA- Integrated RFI database with data from National Radio Dynamic Zone (NRDZ) sensors at Hat Creek Radio Observatory- Created a standardized data format for storing instances of dangerous RFI to share across different radioobservatories- Maintained and upgraded essential observing software

Hat Creek, California, United States

- Created RadioSkyGUIde, a live view of the radio sky to assist observations at the ATA. This software integrated live positional data from the ATA's antennae and real-time data pertaining to satellite and commercial flight locations.- Assisted in building the observation pipeline which led to the ATA’s first discovery of a Fast Radio Burst- Helped "translate" software from Python to C in order to reduce runtime involved in removing man-made interference from observational data- Created a database to help standardize the access of observational data collected by the ATA; indexed observations and made them visible on a web portal to easily review candidates for extraterrestrial signals- Wrote software to monitor the data processing at the ATA to ensure the processing nodes are functioning as expected- Created a pipeline - "Digi-Live" - to pull, process, and display critical data from the ATA's analog-to-digital converters and broadband spectrum data from the sky. This allows us to verify that the ATA's amplifiers are working correctly.

- Held weekly office hours to answer questions and review concepts with students- Provided suggestions for online lab content to substitute given pandemic shipping difficulties

- Held weekly office hours to answer questions and review concepts with students- Held review sessions for exams where we covered crucial concepts from relevant units, discussed the intuition behind important formulae, and worked through proofs

Green Bank, West Virginia, United States

- Analyzed tens of thousands of pieces of image data by hand to search for pulsar candidates- Wrote an algorithm - PRASSE - to automatically filter these candidates to assist in the search for pulsars. The algorithm detected a candidate which was confirmed to be a mislabeled, previously-discovered pulsar by the Green Bank Telescope

- Wrote a simulation to model the spread of COVID-19 in a localized cluster, with simulated commute cycles and infection thresholds- Derived numerical analogs for vaccination milestones from numerical data collected over roughly 20,000 simulation runs- Published a paper on our findings which validated findings by major health organizations and provided insight into the behavior of infection rate under different social conditions
