Minor: French Research 10/2016 present Graduate Research Assistant, Dr. Min Yun, University of Massachusetts. (in progress) Analyzed multi-wavelength observations of hyper-luminous, high-z submillimeter/dusty star-forming galaxies that are magnified by strong gravitational lensing Developed and optimized lens potential models to reconstruct and probe <100 parsec-scale details in source-plane gas and star-formation distributions 09/2015 present Graduate Research Assistant, Dr. Daniel Wang, University of Massachusetts. Utilized radio polarization observations of CHANG-ES sources (Continuum Halos in Nearby Galaxies an EVLA Survey) to extract Faraday rotation measures for the purpose of studying the structure of global magnetic fields in edge-on galaxies and in their accompanying halos Developed techniques for measuring Faraday rotation using QU-fitting" and Bayesian MCMC methods 06/ /2014 Undergraduate Research Assistant, Dr. Lynn Matthews, MIT Haystack Observatory, Westford, MA.
