Work History
Lead Project Manager
NASA L'SPACE NPWEE ACADEMY
05.2024 - Current
- Served as Project Manager on a virtual team of 12 undergraduate students for the Venus Aerobot and Atmospheric Cloud Exploration (VAACE) project, which won $10,000 in seed funding from NASA.
- Coordinated weekly meetings and delegated tasks to ensure that all deliverables were met.
- Collaborated with team members and subject-matter experts at the University of Maryland and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to produce a technical proposal for VAACE.
- Guided our team’s post-funding research phase and helped develop necessary plans for future instrument assembly and performance testing of the aerobot.
Computational Astrophysics
Rutgers University
09.2024 - 12.2024
- Collaborated with an undergraduate team to produce Python code and critical analysis of various physical laws and their effects on the density probability functions (PDF) of cold, dense molecular cloud structures and their star-formation processes.
- Optimized and graphed the independent effects of self-gravity and supersonic turbulence within star-forming regions to model patterns of a power-law function and lognormal function within the PDF models.
- Produced a technical research paper with appropriate models and data analysis, and presented this data in a virtual-conference setting.
- Collaborated with a second team of students to utilize advanced computational tools such as the Amarel Supercomputer to produce and run advanced simulations for critical analysis of large-scale structure formation and the interactive behaviors of baryonic, cold dark matter, and adiabatic gas particles.
- Utilized the loaded simulations to generate a Python code to display a progressive change in densities at various redshifts in time, as well as produce a movie simulation showcasing this change over time.
- Produced a technical paper analyzing the yielded results with its appropriate models and data, and presented these results at an in-person conference setting.
