Research Experience
- Dark Sector Searches at SpinQuest - Member of the SpinQuest collaboration, focusing on upgrading the detector for increased sensitivity to various dark sector portal searches, primarily dark photons. Manages the experiment's data acquisition system.
- Machine Learning Inference as a Service for Science - Involved in packaging and distribution for SONIC framework, optimizing distributed heterogeneous compute services for large-scale scientific experiments.
- Vector Like Quark Searches at the Large Hadron Collider - Analyzed data from the CMS experiment at CERN with Professor Stephen Schnetzer at Rutgers University to search for evidence of bottom-type vector-like quarks (VLQs).
- Hydronamic Simulations of Quark-Gluon Plasma - Worked with hydrodynamic simulations of quark-gluon plasma resulting from heavy ion collisions with Professor Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler at Rutgers, focusing on computational performance optimization and preparing files for initial condition generation.
- CMS Detector Forward Pixel Tracker - Through the REU Program in Physics at Purdue University, worked with Professor Andreas Jung on hardware upgrades for the CMS detector at CERN, focusing on thermal conductivity testing and designing the data acquisition and monitoring system for the tracker's mixed-phase CO2 cooling system.
