I earned my bachelor’s degree in physics and astrophysics from OSU in 2022 and soon after began working with the GENETIS collaboration. Between 2022 and 2023, I co-founded the Nebulous project while also working a second job. In the summer of 2023, I held an internship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where I helped develop and test an implicit Monte Carlo code to simulate nuclear detonation near an asteroid as part of verification of code for use in future planetary defense studies. I am currently a graduate student at OSU, remaining actively involved in both GENETIS and Nebulous through contributions to their ongoing development efforts.
