• 2023 NASA L’SPACE Academy Fellow: Advancing in NASA Proposal Writing and Evaluation Experience

I was a part of NASA’s L’SPACE (Lucy Student Pipeline Accelerator and Competency Enabler) Academy, an intensive program in proposal development and review. Working with a cross-disciplinary team, I led a concept proposal addressing a challenge in the Exploration Destination Systems (TX07) domain—covering mission operations and in-situ resource utilization. The experience built practical skills in NASA-style writing, scoring, and evaluation, and connected our work to the objectives of the Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroids.

I am honored to have been selected for the Undergraduate Summer Research Award (7,500$) by the Dean of the School of Physical Sciences at UCSD. The award supports my ongoing research, Spectral Typing all of Gaia Data Release 3: A Study of Low-Resolution Spectra.  Poster Github 

• 2023 August 16th, Summer Research Conference (SRC), UC San Diego

I had the opportunity to present my research at one of the region's most prestigious academic events. This conference holds the distinction of being the largest undergraduate research assembly in the region. Attracting participation from 55 diverse academic institutions, including notable universities and private institutions, this conference is truly a focal point for groundbreaking research and intellectual discourse in the scientific community.

Research Focus: Guided by Professor Chris Theissen and Quinn Konopacky, my research was centered around creating spectral templates to facilitate comprehensive studies of stars and stellar populations, utilizing the vast and precise data procured from the Gaia satellite. The core objective was to augment the precision and reliability of these templates, thereby providing a potent tool for expansive astronomical studies and enriching our collective understanding of stellar phenomena.
