ACADEMIC RESEARCH

Senior Thesis — Creating a Gradiometer to Measure the Uniformity of Magnetic Fields
Aug 2021 - Dec 2021
Advisors: Brian Collett, Gordon Jones · Hamilton College Dept. of Physics

Built and calibrated a gradiometer to measure magnetic field non-uniformity in support of polarized neutron beam research at NIST. Calibrated a three-dimensional Helmholtz Array Device (T.H.A.D.) achieving field uniformity of 1 part in 10,000 across a 10×7 cm region. Characterized the MLX 90393 Hall sensor for use in the gradiometer, including stability, noise analysis, and temperature sensitivity across all three axes.

Winter Research Fellow — Visualizing a Black Hole Simulation
Dec 2020 - Jan 2021
Faculty Advisor: Prof. M. Marshall · Hamilton College Dept. of Physics

Built a data pipeline in Python to ingest the 3d data of mangetic and electrical fields from a simulated black hole accretion disk to visualize the strenghts across the disk

Independent Study — The FYC Section of Calculus I: A Two-Year Retrospective
Sep. 2019 - Sep. 2020
Faculty Advisor: Prof. R. Kantrowitz · Hamilton College Dept. of Mathematics

Designed and conducted a mixed-methods study evaluating the effectiveness of a First-Year Course section of Calculus I introduced to improve accessibility and diversity in STEM. Collaborated with a visiting sociology professor to develop unbiased survey instruments, collected data from 221 students across FYC and traditional sections, and performed quantitative and qualitative analysis. Concluded the FYC successfully met department goals around inclusion, student confidence, and course retention, challenging the pilot report's pessimistic initial assessment.
