  Undergraduate Research Assistant

  I organized, refined, and gathered data on the rotation curves for various spiral galaxies for the Luminous Convolution Model that was developed by my supervisor, as well as modified the code the model ran on so that new variables could be accounted for.

  I coauthored a meta-study that supplied the general estimates on what the available sustainable technical potential of biomass for the year 2050 will be. Additionally, I helped quantify a model produced by the lab that looked specifically into how much biofuel could be produced for commercial aviation. This work directly will contribute to policy decisions made by the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organization.
