Broader Impacts

As an NSF AAPF postdoctoral fellow, I will lead a outreach program to expose local high school students to data science in astronomy.

“Great American Solar Eclipse” of 2017

I lead an effort with eclipse2017.org, Dr. David Sederberg, and the Purdue Astronomy Club to distribute 10,000 solar eclipse glasses to local schools, libraries, and students. We wrote grants, rallied volunteers, and gathered our solar-filtered telescopes to get the most out of the partial eclipse.
