Tufts University | Sep 2012 - May 2019

Graduate Research Assistant

-Worked at the interface of theoretical and observational astronomy in the field of galaxy evolution by studying infrared luminous galaxies. -Compiled several databases of simulated galaxy mergers results. This required feature engineering for missing data, as well as a statistical analysis to estimate errors/uncertainties due to non-uniform coverage of parameter space between databases. -Simulated data were fit to empirical data using regression techniques. χ2-“like” fitting statistics were used to estimate probability distributions. -Ran small samples of simulation codes on Harvard’s Research Computing Cluster, and stored and analyzed data on Tufts’ High-Performance Computing Cluster. -First-author publications in The Astrophysical Journal, Roebuck et al. 2016 and Roebuck et al. 2019. -Co-auther publications in The Astrophysical Journal, Kirkpatrick et al. 2015 and Bonato et al. 2017. -Three poster presentations at American Astronomical Society Conferences. -Two conference talks (NERQUAM) and a guest talk at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. -Graduate Research Excellence At Tufts (GREAT) Fellow Summer 2015.

University of Pittsburgh | Sep 2008 - May 2010

Undergraduate Research Assistant

-Member of the Survey of Transiting Extrasolar Planets at the University of Pittsburgh (STEPUP) group. -Contributed to writing and modularizing CCD based image calibration, reduction, and analysis code. -Contributed data and observation efforts to Flemming et. al 2012 and Shporer et. al 2010.
