Biology
It's really exciting that we could have such a big impact on the scientific community just because we're doing something that hasn't been done before.

Project: The Effects of Ocean Microplastics
Physics
My research was in the area of neutrino physics, in association with the MicroBooNE collaboration at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. I was interested in coming up with a function to describe the optical response of a photomultiplier tube while submerged in liquid argon. This function would aid in reducing simulation time for MicroBooNE. From this project, I learned how to design and construct a small scale experiment, collect and analyze data, and produce a talk and scientific paper on my findings.

Lifelong learning and respect for others are critical values that can enhance our students' lives and future careers. I believe that my classes' discussion-based and interactive atmosphere provides the ideal soil in which these values can grow.
