My thesis project consisted of the design, construction, commissioning, and use of the EXtreme PREcision Spectrograph (EXPRES), a novel instrument for discovering and characterizing Earth-like planets in other solar systems, which has been commissioned at the 4.3 meter Discovery Channel Telescope in Northern Arizona. My primary contributions were the.

In the spring of 2015 I was a teaching fellow for a Yale course on data mining and astrostatistics using Python. I helped plan and grade labs, projects, and homework assignments. I then served as a teaching fellow for course on galaxies and cosmology. In addition to grading and holding office hours, I helped students complete an observing project with our.

Washington, District Of Columbia, US

I mentored US veterans pursuing higher education on a research project focused on exoplanets.

Flagstaff, Arizona, US

I worked with data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to determine the physical properties of small bodies in the outer Solar System. I presented the results from this work at the 2014 meeting of the American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences.

New Brunswick, NJ, US

I analyzed optical multi-object spectroscopic data taken with the Southern African Large Telescope to determine redshifts of galaxy clusters acting as gravitational lenses for millimeter-wave sources. I presented this work at the January 2014 meeting of the American Astronomical Society

I led my university's local chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS), a national organization for all students interested in learning about physics. My duties included organizing weekly meetings for my chapter and planning science outreach events for local K-12 students.

I tutored for classes at NAU including College Algebra, Quantitative Reasoning, and Physics I.

ID, US

Summer research project at the Idaho Accelerator Center to produce rare medical isotopes for cancer diagnostics and treatment. Created a Matlab utilities to aid in experimental design. Performed gamma-ray spectroscopy of samples produced by linear electron accelerators to determine yield.
