Laurel White Email & Phone Number

I researched with the Syracuse University Gravitational-Wave Group during all four years of my undergraduate education. I worked on LIGO detector characterization with Professor Peter Saulson and parameter estimation with Professor Duncan Brown.

I assisted in teaching lab sections for AST 101 both virtually and in-person during the Fall 2020 semester. I also assisted in teaching recitations for PHY 102 (algebra-based electromagnetism) virtually during the Spring 2021 semester. In both roles, I worked alongside graduate TAs to answer questions and guide students through problems.

I lead educational tours of Syracuse University’s Holden Observatory for students, alumni, and community members.

I facilitated recitations for PHY 212 and 216 classes (introductory-level electricity and magnetism courses) by assisting graduate TAs and helping students work through problems.

East Syracuse, New York, United States

I participated in the LIGO Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program at Caltech. I used machine learning techniques to investigate the behavior of gravitational-wave interferometers.

Bachelor Of Science With Renee Crown University Honors, Physics

I graduated from the Physics B.S. program with a minor in Mathematics. I was also a member of the Renee Crown University Honors Program.
