Highlighted Research Projects

A complete list of my published projects can be found on either NASA ADS or Google Scholar. Some relevant projects are:

• Constraining the Neutrino Magnetic Dipole Moment:
  By modifying the MESA codes and evoloving stars up until the tip of the red giant branch, I used a novel machine learning methodology to place constraints on the neutrino magnetic dipole moment. This work was with Dr. Jeremy Sakstein and Mitchell Dennis at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.


• Searching for Extraterrestrial life around Exoplanets:
  With Dr. Steve Croft at UC Berkeley's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, I looked for signs of life in transiting exoplanets using the Green Bank Observatory radio dish.


• Spectroscopic Lenses in DESI:
  I developed a pipeline to search the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) data for spectroscopic lenses with Dr. John Moustakas.

Highlighted Software & Codes

As part of research I also enjoy developing reusable codes to both reproduce my results and enable similar analyses in the future. All of the code for my projects is publicly available on my GitHub. Here are a few of my most relevant projects:

• OTTER OTTER is a work in progress but will be a catalog of tidal disruption events along with a flexible software suite of tools used to read, write, and visualize the datasets.


• hepfile A software used to store so-called heterogeneous datasets, or data that does not fit into the typical MxN table, in a way that makes reading and writing fast.
