An overview of my research projects.
Why Research?
When I started college, I was pretty certain that I would end up in a CS office job. Yet here I am, deeply invested in a PhD. Each of my projects gave another window into the world of academia, and eventually I switched fields to follow the work I found the most exciting.
Research Projects
These research projects, spanning from undergrad to graduate work, are roughly organized by which telescope they utilized.
