On a Geometric Locus in Taxicab Geometry
Published in Forum Geometricorum, 2014
This paper investigates a classic problem geometry problem in the context of non-Euclidean taxicab geometry.
A Ladder of Curvatures for Hypersurfaces in the Euclidean Ambient Space
Published in Houston Journal of Mathematics, 2014
This paper describes a chain of inequalities pertaining to curvatures in differential geometry.
A Parameter Space Exploration of Galaxy Cluster Mergers II: Effects of Magnetic Fields
Published in The Astrophysical Journal, 2019
In this work, I investigated the effects of magnetic fields on gas dynamics in the cores of galaxy cluster mergers using magnetohydrodynamic simulations.
Narrow-band Signal Localization for SETI on Noisy Synthetic Spectrogram Data
Published in Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2020
For this paper, I used convolutional neural networks to localize narrowband radio signals within time-frequency spectrograms.
Setigen: Simulating Radio Technosignatures for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Published in The Astronomical Journal, 2022
I present setigen, an open-source Python library for generating and injecting synthetic narrowband radio signals in observational data.
On Detecting Interstellar Scintillation in Narrowband Radio SETI
Published in The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this work, I present a novel approach for analyzing radio signals in SETI: investigating the possibility of searching for technosignatures by identifying the presence and nature of intensity scintillations arising from the turbulent, ionized plasma of the interstellar medium.
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Galactic Center Search for Scintillated Technosignatures
Submitted to The Astronomical Journal, 2024
For this work, we performed a dedicated survey for scintillated technosignatures towards the Galactic center and Galactic plane at C-band (3.95–8.0 GHz) using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) as part of the Breakthrough Listen program.
