RESEARCH

September 2019– Simons Center for Geometry and Physics – Research Assistant Professor July 22–26, 2019 Research Collaboration at ICERM, Women in Sympl & Contact Geo/Top: Project 5b, Mirror symmetry and symplectic geometry with leader Professor Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu 2014–2019 Graduate Student Researcher (GSR): UC Berkeley Funded as a GSR in Summer 2014, Spring 2015, Summer 2015, Fall 2015, Summer 2016, Spring 2018, Summer 2018, Fall 2018, and Spring 2019. June 29–Aug 12, 2011 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Pennsylvania State University/NSF Worked on a question in dynamical systems. The research involved algebraic number the- ory and symplectic matrices. The project was successfully completed and the results were presented at the MASS Fest conference. June 9–Aug 17, 2010 Intern at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center: Program through UMBC/CRESST Worked under three mentors on some of their current research. Analyzed data from black-hole binaries and pulsars, in relation to Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in X-ray variability. Partici- pated in a poster session open to Goddard scientists.
