I work under Joshua Spitz at Umich studying atmospheric neutrinos in paleodetectors, or ancient minerals.

I work on the CMS experiment at CERN specifically in the BRIL subgroup which focuses on beam radiation, instrumentation and luminosity data for the CMS detector. I designed an algorithm that quickly and efficiently detects anomalies in luminosity data for the pixel luminosity telescope, which consists of 16 channels of individual data. This algorithm also.

I worked under David Schmitz at UChicago in collaboration with Fermilab on the SBND detector crafting a convolution neural network (CNN) to calculate energy of simulated muons with higher resolution than the traditional method.

I worked on the ATLAS project under Bing Zhou working on the sMDT chamber construction for the HL-LHC upgrade at CERN. I tested thousands of tubes before entering final construction, aided in the physical construction of the chambers, and learned the intricacies that go into building a particle detector of such precision.
