Graduate Student Instructor for two semesters of AOSS-102: Extreme Weather

Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

Planned, managed, and led a week long physic-centric science summer camp designed to inspire middle-school girls to further advance their interest and passion in science. Planned short lectures, physics demonstrations, and hands-on design/build projects (e.g. building model rocks and soldering circuitry to create autonomous toy cars). Managed weekly budget of ~$3000 and recruited graduate student volunteers to serve as counselors.

I worked in Dr. Thomas Kutter's research group studying neutrino physics. With data from the T2K long baseline neutrino experiment in Japan, I developed programs to compare arrival times at the Near Detector are compared with event times and interaction energies at the Far Detector (Super-Kamiokande 300km away) using probability density functions to determine the time of flight of the neutrinos. After all the time delays and uncertainties in the various detectors and instruments are properly… Show more I worked in Dr. Thomas Kutter's research group studying neutrino physics.

After all the time delays and uncertainties in the various detectors and instruments are properly measured, this process could then be used to determine the time of flight of the neutrinos Also analyzed timing and energy reconstruction errors and uncertainties in the T2K system.

As a summer Research Experience for Uundergraduates(REU) intern, I worked with Dr. Thomas Kutter and Dr. William Metcalf measuring the charge-current(CC) neutrino cross sections on iron, using data collected from the near detector of T2K. I implemented Monte Carlo simulations to determine parameters, which could distinguish CC interactions from other types, and applied them to actual beam line and detector data. I gained valuable experience in programming, model building, as well as particle… Show more As a summer Research Experience for Uundergraduates(REU) intern, I worked with Dr. Thomas Kutter and Dr. William Metcalf measuring the charge-current(CC) neutrino cross sections on iron, using data collected from the near detector of T2K.
