● A willingness to travel and learn about unique skills not listed here

● Watching documentaries and sports

Experience

● Currently doing a Biasly writing internship

Writing articles and blog posts about current media topics

● An ability to understand and compare and contrast the geological processes of Earth and other planets

EAPS 445 (Spacecraft Design) allowed me to learn the process of how to set up a mission proposal to an agency such as NASA

EAPS 556 (Planetary Surface Processes) allowed me to explore whether active volcanism occurred on Venus through a literature review, thereby comparing and contrasting the process of volcanism on Earth and other bodies

EAPS 591 (Exoplanets) and EAPS 395 (Astriobiology) explored the different compositions of exoplanets and what particular features are needed for life to potentially happen which is important to know for both here and abroad, especially with the recent astrobiology focus of space missions

EAPS 591 (Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus) explored the different process that occurred on both Mercury and Venus including hollows on Mercury, Venusian surface features, and the potential habitability of the Venusian atmosphere Anish Ravishankar

EAPS 105 (The Planets) explored different areas of the Solar System (inner planets, outer planets, Kuiper Belt, Oort Cloud, space travel, etc.)

● An ability to understand the processes and cycles occurring here on Earth

EAPS 109 (Dynamic Earth) and 221 (Survey of Atmospheric Science) allowed me to learn about the different geological cycles of Earth, such as ones involving the solid earth, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere and how they’re all interconnected

EAPS 319 (The Earth Through Time) was a great opportunity to learn about Earth’s past and how fossils have revolutionized our understanding of it

Through environmental science, I also have an awareness of how to deal with various environmental issues such as: climate change, energy resources, pollution, toxic waste disposal, soil erosion, natural hazards, and environmental planning

● C, Python, MATLAB, R, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

C knowledge came from the class CS 159 where we learned the basics of the C language individually and in groups

Python: Python 3 programming specialization from the University of Michigan on Coursera; group work in ENGR 161 (Honors Engineering), ECE 20875 (Python for Data Science), and EAPS 309 (Computer-Aided Analysis for the Geosciences)

MATLAB: group work in ENGR 162 (Honors Engineering)

R: EAPS 507 (Data Science with R)

JavaScript, HTML, and CSS: Coursera classes

● Google Workspace and Microsoft Office

Comes from years of experience working with my Google Drive on various docs and sheets pertaining to topics in earth science and political science along with US election data in a readable format

● Analysis and comprehension of various types of political data

Stems from the various political science courses and the extensive Google Drive

■ My Google Drive has lots of easily readable data on the political compositions of states, including presidential (state and county), Senate, House, gubernatorial, State Senate, and State House along with how the urban and rural populations of a state works. This data goes back to 1828 or before.

POL 300 (Intro to Political Analysis) allowed me to interpret various forms of political data such as samples

● Knowledge of the US government

An accumulation of various topics such as the national and state government (POL 101 and 372), how national elections and campaigns run and perform (POL 373), the function of Congress (POL 411), and lastly how different demographics affect different levels of government (POL 491: Race, Gender, and Political Participation). Anish Ravishankar

11108 Crisp Air Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80908 765-***-**** adzfyu@r.postjobfree.com

A knowledge of the general public policy in the United States (POL 120), a sense of international relations (POL 130), environmental policy in the United States and abroad and its impact (POL 223 and 327), and enhanced spatial thinking skills and geographic literacy and concepts on regional, national, and global scales (human geography).

● Writing and reading comprehension skills

Ability to discern modern American discourse (POL 429: American Political Communication)

Projects and Research

● Projects

EAPS 445 (Spacecraft Design)

■ Created a mock proposal where the lack of internal heat from Uranus was discussed that an orbital mission there could solve along with many stated possibilities for its occurence that a mission could check for

■ Took a proposal about the Galilean moon Europa (Jupiter’s) and expanded upon a proposed mission to check for tectonic activity regarding the Europan ice in a group setting resembling a NASA proposal

■ Created powerpoint to interpret and summarize data regarding the proposal

POL 491 (Race, Gender, and Political Participation)

■ Followed three representatives’ activity in Congress in a group setting and how their Congressional policies and proposals (ex. Grace Meng from NY-6) affected their minority-majority districts

● Additional Research

EAPS 556 (Planetary Surface Processes)

■ Did a literature review on how active volcanism might occur on Venus; if it is occurring, then it would become the third planetary body after Io and Earth to have silicate volcanism

EAPS 591 (Exoplanets)

■ Did a comparative review of how the Solar System was similar and different

(compare and contrast) to other star systems and evaluated where the Solar System was truly unique among them

■ Created multiple powerpoints regarding exoplanets, parsing through data and information in exoplanet-related, technical scientific papers

EAPS 591 (The Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus)

■ Measured the dimensions of 20 hollows on Mercury using JMARS software and tried to determine the size and distribution of hollow shapes along with Anish Ravishankar

11108 Crisp Air Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80908 765-***-**** adzfyu@r.postjobfree.com whether hollows were smaller or larger than what appeared in the MESSENGER data

■ Created powerpoints regarding Mercury and Venus, parsing through data and information from technical scientific papers concerning the inner two planets Relevant Courses
