- I am a developer for COSI's high level analysis software - cosipy. I am working on profiling and testing mostly, specifically our R-L implementation. I hope to help make the library faster and more accessible to astrophysicists. Long-term it should be robust enough to fly.
- I’m an undergrad at the College of Wooster - double major in Physics and CS. My capstone project is on cosipy.
- I am waiting on a review for a submission to the Mining Software Repositories 2025 conference. I investigated release lifespans and adoption reach in the Maven software ecosystem.
- I have worked on the ADAPT mission as an NSF-REU. I tested some dynamically slimmable linear regression neural networks for gamma ray localization on a high-energy Compton space telescope. The goal was to do floating point prediction under size, power, and time constraints. Imagine a linear NN with an arbitrary "selection window" of active nodes, with control in the x and y "directions" of the network. It was not successful.
- I have worked in The College of Wooster Wavelab on a a chemical Electron Drift Velocitiy Analogue funded by an NSF-REU grant. I used PIV to do the analysis. I wrote some rudimentary simulations. I presented a poster at APS March 2024, and I have plans to submit to AIP's Physics of Fluids journal sometime in the future.
- I'd like to collaborate on open source information and data science projects, particularly ones with a compelling social impact. I admire Cory Doctorow's work, and his profound belief that the internet is getting worse.
- Swartz, Snowden, Manning and everyone else were right in their view that access to information is the key to a free society. So too was Robert Ochigame. I think programmers collectively wield the most powerful tool ever built, and we should be opinionated about what we do with it.
- I would like to work on software for embedded systems architectures or scientific simulation work.
- I would like to build software that helps vulnerable people.
- I am applying to PhDs and post-baccs. If you have funding please reach out.
