I am current Master’s student in Physics at the University of Chicago performing research in the Applied Mathematics Department. I have a wide range of interests that include mathematical modeling, quantum computing, and software development. I believe that I have the drive and the skills to make significant progress and a lasting impact in any of the aforementioned fields. Education

University of Chicago Chicago,IL

Mary Silber Computational Applied Mathematics Group, Research Assistant September 2010-Present My first project was to help a Master’s student with a thesis project to find numerical solutions for a stochastic, periodic, mechanical system using Transition Path Theory. We wrote programs to simulate the motion of the system for a large range of noise values to check our numerical solutions. I received my own project in March; this project is a generalization of the previously mentioned project to chaotic mechanical systems. More particularly, I am (the project is ongoing) tasked with the finding numerical solutions to a stochastic Shilnikov bifurcating system and to run simulations to check the solutions of the motion.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Berkeley, CA Theory Group of the Nuclear Science Division, Research Affiliate February 2017-September 2018 The research was mainly in Lattice QCD and nuclear physics at low temperatures. In the first few months of my appointment, I was assigned the task of learning about the basics of QFT, Lattice QCD, and the packages used to run simulations and fits mainly created by Peter Lepage and the LBL group. My first project was to run simulations for few baryon systems while doing calculations that minimize the noise-to-signal ratio. My second project was to extract coefficients (the coefficients present in the functional form suggested by Chiral Perturbation Theory) from given two-point functions. Then, I was given the two-point functions of two correlated data sets (smeared-smeared and point smeared) and I had the task of extracting the coefficients by simultaneously fitting using a covariant fit of highly correlated data.

University of California, Berkeley Berkeley

Undergraduate Student Instructor (UGSI), Physics 7C UGSI Summer 2018 Worked with a UC Berkeley professor in preparing a course plan for Physics 7C, Modern Physics for undergraduates. Held two discussion sections of 15 students a week where I gave hour long lectures that supplemented the material in regular class lectures. Prepared labs two times a week and helped students understand the experiment and arrive at the desired experimental results. Held office hours twice a week, wrote solutions of problems sets, and graded students’ exams and homework weekly.
