I'm an undergraduate senior at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Physics with a concentration in Astrophysics, and minoring in Computer Science. I love astrophysics, especially the computational study of massive binary stars and their core collapse supernovae (CCSNe).
I'm a contributor to the binary population synthesis code COSMIC, and I recently submitted a first-authored paper using COSMIC to simulate CCSN progenitors to ApJ!
To support this research, I built ccsnlab, a Python package that helps users process supernova information from their COSMIC simulations and generate plots like mine. I plan to write a lot more code over the course of my career, and this GitHub is where it will live!
I'm dedicated to open-source, reproducible research and plan to continue using and developing a range of open astrophysical modeling tools.
I'm applying to PhD programs in astrophysics and physics. If you're reviewing an application of mine, welcome! Feel free to explore my projects.
