<ul>
<li>Analyzed 10 years of UV fluorescence event data to calculate a cosmic ray energy spectrum. Raw cosmic ray event data were analyzed by reconstructing event geometry and energy. The event information was aggregated into a large database to produce the event energy distribution. The aperture of the optical detectors was calculated through simulating cosmic events in the atmosphere and simulating the response of the detectors.</li>
<li>Analyzed the significance of the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin (GZK) Suppression at the highest energies of cosmic rays in the 10 year cosmic ray spectrum. Analyzed other features that give insight into cosmic ray populations or propagation effects.</li>
<li>Analyzed the preliminary data from the new fluorescence detectors for the expansion of TA known as TAx4 into a preliminary Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum and compared to previous results to gauge the new detector’s abilities.</li>
<li>Classified weather over TA with the fluorescence detector photomultiplier tube baselines to create false color logos of the detectors’ field of view. Videos of these snapshots were then used as inputs in a Recurrent Convolu on Neural Network (RCNN) model constructed with Keras machine learning framework to determine clear weather data for further cosmic ray analysis.</li>
<li>Created composite satellite maps in Python with site geographic information overlays of TA using data from the Landsat 8 satellite pulled from Amazon Web Services. Created topographical and shaded relief maps in Python with site geographic information overlays using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data (SRTM).</li>
<li>Built, tested, and deployed the new fluorescence detectors in TAx4.</li>
<li>Field team leader charged with the safety of field crew and overseeing the deployment of the new surface detectors to their field site for TAx4.</li>
<li>Maintained and operated surface and fluorescence detectors for cosmic ray event data collection.</li>
<li>Analyzed fluorescence detector’s sensitivity to energy and development of cosmic ray event interactions in the atmosphere through Monte Carlo simula on. The reconstructed event information were analyzed by being binned into histograms and fitted using ROOT data analysis framework.</li>
<li>Linux systems administrator of the Telescope Array’s data server and computational clusters at the University of Utah for 2 years.</li>
