• Oceanography: Collected and cataloged sediment samples. Identified organic materials and organisms present in samples. Studied nautical and bathymetric charts. Kept data entries of currents, waves, and tides. Then created projections based on these findings. Used several pieces of software to project sea-level rise and then conducted research and experiments in order to test the reliability of the data. (Jan 2018 - May 2018)
• Astronomy Focused: Astronomical photographic analyisis including cataloging stars and other uncertainties. Observed the sun, moon and daytime astronomical activity as well as kept data on said activity. Analyzed stellar spectra and presented reports on findings. (Jan 2019 - Dec 2019)
• Habitable Planets: Conducted background research and created a Mission Proposal. Determined if said mission proposal was feasible and within what timeline it could be executed in. Conducted background research of other planets and if life could be viable. If so, determined which kind of life and/or humans could survive. (Aug 2020 - Dec 2020)
• Engineering Based: Automotive focused. Worked with entrepreneurs to design an engine that could use new fuel alternatives. Conducted research on fuel engines in order to create a plan for renewable/sustainable fuel alternatives. Modeled and manufactured various prototypes of said engine and fuels. Conducted research and created a plan to begin an oil refining process. (Jan 2021 - May 2021)
• Advanced Lab: Wrote accurate and concise lab reports. Conducted experiments remotely and preformed data analysis using MATLab and Excel. Kept a detailed logbook. Performed the data acquisition effectively. Accurately described the analysis, presentation of experiment, and quality of the results both orally and textually. Conducted background research about the historical perspective and theory regarding each experiment.These experiments included but not limited to the subjects of muon physics and wave-particle duality. (June 2021 - Aug 2021)
• Stellar Astrophysics: Conducted background research and kept an in-detailed log of all data and calculations. Executed calculations to find the following: composition, classification, luminosity, mass, temperature, and pressure of a given stellar mass as a function of normalized Radius. Displayed said data using MATLab, and Excel. Wrote an in depth report of findings and compared it to well known stars/star masses to determine if the star itself was/could exist. (Aug 2021 - Dec 2021)
