Penn State University, Department of Physics
During my time at Penn State, I did research in an Astrophysics lab dealing with gamma-ray emissions from other galaxies. Specifically, I worked on data analysis regarding the gamma-ray emissions from supermassive black hole regions and modeled the physical processes that were causing these gamma-ray emissions. Throughout this experience, I presented my work at conferences and wrote my undergraduate honors thesis (link is below).
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Department of Medical Physics
In the summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to participate in a summer fellowship program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I worked on research regarding the outcomes of Stereotactic Radiosurgery, a form of Radiation Therapy for brain tumors. I created quantitative data from MR images of brain tumors before Stereotactic Radiosurgery treatment and used machine learning to predict whether the brain tumor would react positively to the treatment. I also shadowed a radiation therapy medical physicist and a dosimetrist during this experience.
Stony Brook University, Department of Biomedical Engineering
I am currently participating in my first research rotation at Stony Brook University, where I am building digital models of PET scanners and brain phantoms for use in simulations and image reconstruction.
