Responsible for engineering and maintaining complete audio signal chains from microphone input to streaming server output. Duties include live broadcast support, equipment setup and troubleshooting, digital and analog signal routing, audio recording and mixing, and facilitating live concert events. Work spans both technical infrastructure and creative audio production for radio programming.
Weekly show on metal history featuring album reviews, concert reviews, and artist interviews. Voted best DJ Spring 2025 by fellow radio members.
Developed and validated computational models of charge and phonon transport in germanium and silicon detectors for the SuperCDMS dark matter experiment. Compared phenomenological and first-principles models of intervalley scattering using G4CMP simulations and experimental electron drift data. Used a first-of-its-kind multiple-parameter tuning script to optimize simulation values to match experimental analysis, supporting improved detector design and rare event searches.
Gained hands-on experience with ROOT, Slurm, HPC computing, Geant4, and SuperSim, as well as advanced data analysis and scientific computing workflows.
