Conducting a multi-wavelength study (radio, X-ray, optical) to search for transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) and redback candidates, and searching for pulsars in the Galactic Center with the Green Bank Telescope.

Searching for signs of intelligent life by analyzing narrowband signals in large survey data, both in the Galactic Center and the Galactic field, with various telescopes across the world, primarily the Green Bank Telescope, Parkes Telescope, and the Sardinia Radio Telescope.

Investigated the Skewness Function to correct the times of arrival (TOAs) of pulsars by reducing jitter noise caused by their amplitudes and phases; Modeled pulsar behavior by running simulations using a pulse-generating Python code to find correlations between the Skewness Function and the TOAs for varying pulse shape properties; Found that correlation is most effective when separation between pulse components is comparable to their width and phase jitter is small; Currently applying the model to real pulsar data from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav).

Designed and modified the Capacitance Bridge Circuit in HIRMES -- a third generation instrument on NASA’s SOFIA airborne observatory; Used Altium Designer to create the 2-layer circuit board that controls the mirror gap of the Fabry-Perot Interferometer and therefore determines the specific wavelengths we detect; Developed schematics and maintained system documentation; Uploaded symbol and footprint libraries for schematic and PCB design tools; Learned how to solder; tested and debugged the design.

1) Used the Exoplanet Encyclopedia catalog to analyze properties, including mass and radius, of all currently known exoplanets to find those in the Habitable Zone by calculating their Venus limit inner edge and the Mars limit outer edge; Plotted their location in the Milky Way by detection method using MATLAB; 2) Studied Ramses Ramirez’s 2D FORTRAN Balance Climate Model Code to explore its capabilities and calculate the temperature at varying latitude bands of hypothetical exoplanets at different parameters.

Investigated the dominant triggering mechanism of jets in coronal holes; Found jets using Helioviewer and investigated them using DS9; Ran and modified Python programs on Linux to download, reduce, and analyze Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) jet data in three different wavelengths and their magnetograms; Studied the difference between flux emergence and flux cancellation; Characterized the jets; Wrote a 16-page final report on my findings.

Investigated and calculated the signal-to-noise ratio of the [NII] 122 micron fine- structure emission line at several positions in the galaxy M33; Reduced and analyzed data using Python; Plotted flux density at different wavelengths at the varying positions.

Tracked a near-Earth asteroid named Tantalus at Etscorn Observatory; created programs in Python to calculate its position, velocity, and orbit; submitted data to the Minor Planet Center.
