I am third-year student here at Penn State double majoring in astronomy & astrophysics and general physics. I am also minoring in mathematics. I currently conduct research under Dr. Sarah Shandera in working to model theorized compact objects made from dark matter, such as Population III stars. I also conduct research as part of the Pulsar Search Collaboratory at Penn State focusing on measuring the scintillation of pulsars for the purposes of determining characteristics of the interstellar medium.
