physics projects
- early 2016: classification of galaxy mergers
using IR photometry. See this paper.
Advised by Dr. Howard Smith (Harvard Center for
Astrophysics).
- 2016: 12.4 GHz spectrum analysis using a
SignalHound spectrum analyzer to understand EM
interference in observation windows of the
BICEP/Keck array CMB
experiment. See relevant poster. This
website is one product of this analysis.
Advised by Prof. John Kovac, Dr.
Kirit Karkare (Harvard College Observatory).
- 2017: WVR analysis of atmosphere above premier
CMB observation sites. Name of the game: 4 Tsky
measurements from WVR bands → 1 PWV estimate.
See this paper.
Advised by
Prof. John Kovac, Dr. Denis Barkats (Harvard
College Observatory).
- early 2018: investigation of primordial standard
clock signal in matter power spectrum (can
experiment ever detect one?). Computed Fisher
matrix elements for large Ω. See this paper.
Advised by Prof. Xingang
Chen (Harvard Center for Astrophysics).
- 2018: expanding JUNIPR
to use more physical observables to achieve optimal
discrimination of up/down quark jets (and
hopefully
other jets too!).
Advised by Prof. Matthew
Schwartz, Dr. Anders Andreassen (Harvard Center
for Fundamental Laws of Nature, High Energy Theory
Group).
