Collaborated with a physics faculty mentor to build a Python-based data pipeline that processed real-time horn telescope signals using software-defined radio, producing live fringe pattern visualizations on a web dashboard.
NSF grant-funded research fellowship where I conducted and presented research on theoretical Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) signals from plutonium-241 in spent nuclear fuel. My findings contributed to my mentor’s larger work on neutrinos, supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration.
Individual project from Digital Electronics that simulates rolling two standard six-sided dice using varying 555 timers and decade counters to light an LED display.
Partner coding project from Computational Physics that utilizes Python’s turtle library to show the path of successive random steps in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional mathematical plane.
Individual C++ project from Parallel/Distributed Computing that introduces threading into Conway’s Game of Life. Reads an initial state from a 5x5 grid input file, then continues showing iterations of cell life through user input.
Calculus II project showing the origin of many currently-used formulas and principles using Gottfried Leibniz' "Intuition and Check" Method.
Group project from Software Development utilizing Python's QT GUI library. An application designed by students, for students, to aid them in their studying endeavors.

I perform oil and grease analysis in accordance with EPA Method 1664 to determine n-hexane extractable material (HEM) and n-hexane extractable material not absorbed by silica gel (SGT-HEM), distinguishing polar from non-polar fractions in environmental samples. My responsibilities include preparing and extracting samples, operating and maintaining analytical instruments, and performing quality control checks to ensure data accuracy and precision. I record and review results using laboratory information management software (LIMS), maintaining detailed documentation to support traceability and reporting.
National Science Foundation (NSF) grant-funded research fellowship where I conducted and presented research on theoretical coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) emissions from plutonium-241 in spent nuclear fuel. My findings contributed to my mentor’s broader work on electron anti-neutrino behavior, supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration.
Developed a Python-based data pipeline to observe and analyze fringe patterns from radio horn telescopes during drift scans, supporting radio astronomy research focused on detecting hydrogen frequency signals. The system integrated GNU Radio signal processing with Python tools such as NumPy, Matplotlib, and Pandas for data analysis and plotting, then converted results into HTML-based visualizations for remote display. I assembled and utilized field hardware used in data collection, including horn antennas, low-noise amplifiers, and software-defined radios (SDRs). I maintained a detailed research log and code documentation, and collaborated to edit and refine research notes and presentations.
Supported the daily operations and events of the department through administrative, technical, and logistical work. I organized and maintained music library archives, set up equipment for football games and concerts, helped coordinate honor band events, and provided general support for departmental performances and outreach.
Worked through late-night and holiday shifts to keep operations running during busy hours, including concert and event nights. My responsibilities included preparing made-to-order food, operating the cash register, stocking and cleaning, and prepping ingredients for the following day.
Managed a variety of customer service and operational tasks across different facilities for a local park. I operated the pool admissions register, welcomed guests, and ensured smooth entry during busy summer hours. At the pool concession stand, I prepared food and beverages, operated the cash register, and maintained a clean workspace. I also assisted with mini golf admissions and supported special events at the main golf house.
