• Worked in conjunction with Tuft University's Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group to create mathematical models and visualizations of voter behavior in Python to measure gerrymandering in anticipation of 2021 census
• Gathered and organized precinct level voting data from 105 Kansas counties in excel, by calling individual county clerk offices and used mapping software & Python algorithms to match precincts to census blocks
• Currently working with REU director to publish paper based upon model visualizations I created

• Received Richard Hurd '48 Fellowship for optics research in summer ’19, given return offer to continue research
• Demonstrated the sensing possibilities of a proprietary four core fiber optic cable for three-point bending by building experiment from scratch after lab moved and fine-tuning the alignments of all optical elements
• Wrote MATLAB programs that achieved more precise analysis and optimized workflow for new camera software and successfully simulated light propagating down fiber to facilitate faster, more accurate fiber analysis
• Presented research at 20min talk and Q&A and at Swarthmore College Sigma Xi poster session

• Worked with individuals and groups of up to 30 students in Engineering and Physics departments on topics from optics and thermodynamics to digital signal processing, answering broad conceptual questions and specific.
• Fostered problem solving and analytical thinking skills by asking targeted questions and demonstrating best practices
