About
As of now I have completed the second year of my undergraduate astrophysics degree at the University of Colorado Boulder. Since starting here in 2012 I have been awarded with three undergraduate research grants and opportunities such as using telescopes around the nation to conduct research. The part of research that I particularly enjoy is using the machinery like telescopes or computer programs.
