About Me

I’m a first-year graduate student who is hoping to learn more about Beyond Standard Model Physics as I get further into my graduate career. I was able to work at the APD lab this past Summer with a fellow graduate student, Caitlin Tidmore, where we both got to see what kinds of work is done at the lab. As an undergraduate at Angelo State University, I worked on several projects. Two such projects were taking images of stars around the sun during the latest solar eclipse in an attempt to measure gravitational lensing as well as launching a weather balloon with two charged particle detectors to measure cosmic ray rate with respect to altitude. I also managed to work at CERN as a summer student during the Summer of 2023, which really cemented my interest in High Energy Physics.
