Logan M Edwards | Astrophysics & Planetary Science

About

I'm an undergraduate astrophysics and planetary science major at Florida Tech researching the utilization of deep learning models in astronomical studies. This site collects my projects, resume, and contact info. Please feel free to reach out.

Coursework

Completed courses that directly support my interests in astronomy, physics, and machine learning.

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.

Projects

Selected projects with links to pages, datasets, and technical writeups.
