Degree: MA in Astronomy, June 2017
Minor: Scientific Computing
Advisor: Dr. Katherine Rhode
Topics: Optical photometry of nearby dwarf galaxies; optical follow-up of radio data of "Almost-Dark" galaxies
Observing Experience: Use of the One Degree Imager (ODI) on the 3.5-m WIYN telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO)
Summary of Work: I conducted Master's and PhD research at Indiana University (2014-2018) with Dr. Kathy Rhode on the subject of "almost-dark" galaxies discovered through the ALFALFA radio survey. I conducted optical follow-up of candidate galaxies discovered by their neutral hydrogen (HI) content from the Arecibo Radio Observatory. My observations were conducted with the One Degree Imager on the 3.5 meter WIYN telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

Me with a life-size model of the Curiosity Rover in Los Alamos, NM.
Advisor: Dr. Roger Wiens
Summary of Work: During the summer of 2014, I worked on the Mars rover Curiosity at Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico under the supervision of Dr. Roger Wiens. I worked on the ChemCam instrument of Curiosity; ChemCam is a combination of a laser, telescope, camera, and spectrometer that is used for the remote determination of the chemical composition of rocks on Mars.

Calvin University
Calvin University
Degree: BS in Physics, May 2014
Minor: Astronomy
Advisors: Dr. Lawrence Molnar, Dr. Steven Steenwyk
Off-Campus Study: Astronomy in the Southwest, January 2013
Topics: Asteroid discovery, recovery, and orbital analysis; variable star discovery
Observing Experience: 16-inch Calvin-Rehoboth telescope located in Rehoboth, NM
Summary of Work: During the summer of 2012, I conducted research on asteroids in the Koronis Zone of the asteroid belt in order to determine the collisional history of the asteroids in this region. Throughout my time at Calvin, I worked with Dr. Molnar and Dr. Steenwyk to discover both asteroids and variable stars and to track discovered asteroids over time to better understand their orbital paths.
Visiting Calvin's telescope in Rehoboth, NM in January 2013.
