What I do for the PSC?

I served as a graduate mentor for two high school students at the School for Math and Science at Vanderbilt.  The students are working on a project using the 20 meter telescope at the Green Bank Observatory. 

Other Outreach Efforts

  • I am a member of the NANOGrav Outreach group.  As a member, I am certified to visit schools and present a presentation about NANOGrav.  If you would like me or another member to visit your school or club, please visit this page.
  • I helped with the exhibit, "The Shadow of the Sun: E.E. Barnard and the Solar Eclipse," at Vanderbilt University's Central Library. My case compares astrophotography taken by Barnard to photos taken recently. To learn more, please visit here.
