About

I'm an undergraduate astrophysics and planetary science major at Florida Tech researching the utilization of deep learning models in astronomical studies. I also build and maintain websites for rare-disease advocacy organizations, including AspireCURES. This site collects my projects, resume, and contact info. Please feel free to reach out.

• Deep Learning (CNNs & PyTorch)

  Model design, training loops, evaluation, and practical computer vision workflows.

• Classical Mechanics

  Lagrangian/Hamiltonian methods, constrained systems, and analytical problem solving.

• Partial Differential Equations

  Separation of variables, eigenfunction expansions, and boundary value problems.

• Modern Physics

  Quantum/relativity fundamentals, atomic & nuclear topics, and applied problem sets.

• Observational Astronomy

  Stellar structure/evolution, observations, and interpreting survey-style datasets.

• Methods and Instrumentations

  Telescope/CCD instrumentation fundamentals, calibration & noise, and hands-on coding projects for astronomical data reduction and analysis.
