United States

• Researches a variety of space weather topics on a team of five scientists testing and advancing the Space Ionizing Radiation Environment and Effects (SIRE2) set of tools, which includes modeling real-time solar activity around Earth and maps of large historical solar storms in the inner Solar System. • Offers remote assistance for the Applied Physics and Technology test team in spectroscopic data processing and analysis. Contributes to gamma-ray and X-ray tests at different facilities across the country, to advance the development of optical materials technology.

• Led the physics research team on a window heating task involving supersonic aerodynamics, infrared crystal optics, and mechanics. Spearheaded development of the model and gradually took on increasing responsibility until selected as the primary researcher.• Renovated a digital video recorder. Developed an image correction program that performed 10x better than previous versions.• Produced custom atmospheric profiles, plume signature models, and an innovative data analyzer that predicted flight success and system response speed.

Clemson, Sc

• Utilized planetarium software Digistar for visual presentations while personally educating a range of audiences from elementary school field trips to prospective students and university alumni about the Solar System, constellations, and other topics in astronomy.

Clemson, Sc

• Invented a detection algorithm to determine the location of certain ionized clouds to improve radio signal accuracy. Specifically, compared Sporadic-E clouds to auroral and solar radiation in the ionosphere.• Performed data analysis and data visualization on the electron densities of Sporadic-E clouds. Data was provided by the SRI International ISR Database (Scientific Research Institute, SRI; and, Incoherent Scatter Radar, ISR).• Wrote a 20-page senior thesis detailing and analyzing both theory and results. Expected publication, details to follow. • Supervisor: Dr. Stephen Kaeppler. Computer language: Python.

• Coached middle to high school students in speech and debate, focusing on critical thinking, presentation skills, philosophy, political science, debate structure, and rhetoric.

Clemson, South Carolina

• Modeled the formation process of ancient meteorites. • Analyzed how calcium-aluminum inclusions, an ancient particle, got trapped in carbonaceous chondrite. Specifically, studied nucleosynthetic isotopes in pre-solar grain carriers.• Presented research to Clemson University’s Board of Trustees to represent physics undergraduates.• Data was provided by Katherine Bermingham, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Geology Researcher at the University of Maryland.• Supervisor: Dr. Bradley Meyer. Computer languages: Python (some C++)

Clemson University

• Led the layout and design of the magazine’s 120th-anniversary edition with Adobe Indesign.• Managed the layout committee of 5 students in designing ads and organizing the magazine.• Helped the campus organization as a whole plan events to promote the magazine.

Winter Park, Florida

• Taught middle and high school students debate structure and critical thinking at annual summer camp.• Co-wrote curriculum and camp schedule.

Lookout Mountain, Georgia, United States

• Contacted donors via phone, email, and written communication.• Helped coordinate special events including Homecoming activities.• Updated Advancement Office database, including donor, alumni, church, and student records.• Designed brochures to attract donors to sponsor student scholarships.
