About the Recipient
Zone and Chapter: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
I am currently a junior pursuing a degree in physics from the University of Illinois, with minors in math and computer science and a specialization in computational astrophysics. I’m currently involved with research in big data astronomy, as working as a teacher’s assistant for the Intro Mechanics class. For the summer I intend to continue my research in order to work on my thesis. After graduation, I’m setting my sights high for graduate school, where I hope to earn my PhD in astrophysics.
