• Lead weekly group tutoring sessions for introductory astronomy students at Connecticut College• Guided students through a review of exam problems such that students can articulate their problem-solving methods and understand their solutions• Crafted analogies between intuitive ideas and problems where students struggled to grasp abstract concepts

• Asked to continue Lorentz variant cosmology project from the summer into the semester• Met weekly with supervising professor to discuss my progress, findings, and future steps• Manipulated systems of differential equations, using Mathematica, which described the evolution of a Lorentz variant universe• Compared the results of systems with different initial conditions to hypothesize how initial conditions impact the evolution of a system• Analyzed limitations with method of equation evaluation in Mathematica to maximize the effectiveness of numerical differential equation solving functions• Authored a lab report describing my research and contributions to this project throughout the semester, to be used by future student researchers
