Internships

LANL

In the Summer of 2015, I spent 10 weeks at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This opportunity was possible thanks to the partnership between C-SWARM and PSAAP. There I worked on adaptive wavelet methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs).

Thanks to continued support from Dr. Daniel Livescu, I returned to LANL in the Summer of 2016 and the Winter of 2017. During this time we developed a method for calculating spatial derivatives of n-dimensional wavelet basis functions using matrix operators. This became the method used in the Multi-Resolution Wavelet Toolkit (MRWT), the wavelet-based non-linear PDE solver currently in use by the Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials at the University of Notre Dame.

Research Groups

PICO

As an undergraduate student and as a post-baccalaureate I was a member of the PICASSO/COUPP (PICO) research group. This group aims to detect dark matter particles using bubble chamber technology. My role in the group was to construct and stress test components used the in the bubble chamber. The majority of these components were piezo-electric acoustic transducers which were hand-made in South Bend, Indiana.

While involved in the PICO group, I co-authored the following paper:

" Direct measurement of the bubble-nucleation energy threshold in a CF3I bubble chamber"

Which was published in Physical Review D
