Honours Bachelor's of Science (HBSc.)

• Astronomy and Astrophysics Specialist, Mathematics Minor
• GPA- 3.84/4.00

Undergraduate Thesis I- The Impacts of AGN Feedback on Galaxy Clusters

• Research assistant for Professor Renée Hložek and Dr. Martine Lokken.
• Ran hydrodynamic simulations with the 300 collaboration of galaxy clusters to understand how galactic feedback affects large-scale structure.
• Built packages to compare the pressure, density, temperature distributions and filament morphology across simulations.
• Conducted a literature review and presented findings to colleagues internationally.
• Work will likely be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This project was completed as part of a bachelor’s thesis.

Undergraduate Thesis II- Standard Siren Cosmology with Gravitational Waves

• Research assistant for Professor Maya Fishbach.
• Explored methods of recovering the redshift-distance relation from simulated gravitational-wave catalogs of redshifted masses and distances.
• Developed methods of recovering the Hubble constant from gravitational waves, applicable to real events.
• Received Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship to continue this project over summer 2025.
• Work will likely be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This project was completed as part of a second bachelor’s thesis, by special request.

Summer Research, ATLAS Experiment Summer 2024

• Worked under Professors Nikolina Ilic and Richard Teuscher on the ATLAS experiment at CERN for 12 weeks, in person.
• Investigated yearly spatial variations in jet distributions of the H to ZZ particle decay.
• Ran Monte Carlo particle simulations to compare with observed results.
• Summarized findings in a report.

Teaching Assistant

• Teaching assistant for MAT186 (Calculus I), MAT187 (Calculus II), MAT188 (Linear Algebra), and AST251 (Life on Other Worlds).
• Led three tutorials per week, marked assignments, invigilated exams, and held office hours for university calculus, linear algebra, and astronomy courses with over 4,000 students combined.

Summer Student

• Created a Python script to automate the collection of weather alerts from an online database.
• Built an interactive dashboard in PowerBI to view and sort historical storm reports on a map, used by meteorologists across Canada.
• Wrote detailed event summaries following extreme weather events, categorizing reports for media briefings used by major news organizations.

Events Assistant

• Helped with event logistics and on-site coordination of workshops, lectures, and conferences.
• Worked closely with undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, lecturers, and community members.
