    1. Thank you for your interest in my research!
      My mentor Dr. Thomas suggested it to me as an extension of his Washburn research group in astrobiophysics, relating how supernova events would affect Earth in a variety of ways. My field is computational physics, so I learned more computer science skills like scripting, code editing, and plotting results during physics research.
      My long term career goal is to work with a scientists to build, run, and analyze computer models for research purposes. Climate studies and astrophysics are two of the most common areas for scientific computer modeling and I’ve enjoyed using PlaSim as an intermediate playground to learn how more advanced models I hope to work on someday are set up.

  1. Great presentation! Your research seems so important for helping us to better understand the effects of climate change and possibly develop new, and better, ways to prevent problems associated with climate change. I hope you are able to find more promising results as you continue your studies!

  2. What advice would you give to other undergraduate students interested in getting involved in research?

    1. Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know and don’t be afraid of reaching out to others to help get you started.
      Find someone that can give you a common interest and let your curiosity guide you after that!
      Before you know it you’ll be researching new concepts and applying them in new ways out of necessity to learn and do things other people haven’t done before.
