Congress established the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (Space Grant) with Title II of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 1988. The National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, through the designation of Space Grant consortia and the establishment of Space Grant programs and fellowships, was designed to broaden the base of universities and individuals contributing to and benefiting from aerospace science and technology and ultimately contribute to the development and utilization of space resources. Space Grant Program Objectives: + Establish and maintain a national network of universities with interests and capabilities in aeronautics, space and related fields; + Encourage cooperative programs among universities, aerospace industry, and Federal, state and local governments; + Encourage interdisciplinary training, research and public service programs related to aerospace; + Recruit and train U.S. citizens, especially women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities, for careers in aerospace science and technology; and, + Promote a strong science, mathematics, and technology education base from elementary through secondary levels. Our current consortium membership includes eductaional institutions, museums, and industry partners across the state: Cornell University (lead institution) Alfred University Barnard College Binghamton University City College of New York Clarkson University Colgate University Columbia University Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum Lockheed Martin Medgar Evers College Moog New York University Rensselaer Polytechnic University Rochester Institute of Technology Sciencenter SUNY Geneseo Stony Brook University Syracuse University Union College University at Buffalo University of Rochester Ursa Space Systems York College

I am proud to share that I have received another NASA New York Space Grant for my proposal, “Estimating the Hubble Constant with Doubly Lensed Quasars and Time-Delay Cosmography.” Distributed by the NASA New York Space Grant Consortium, this award is given to undergraduates who have shown commitment to advancing NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration initiatives. The Hubble constant is a fundamental piece of astronomy that describes the expansion rate and evolution of our universe. However, there exists a discrepancy in its measurement using early universe sources, such as the Cosmic Microwave Background, and late universe sources, such as distant quasars. My research seeks to reduce the uncertainty in the Hubble constant by analyzing Hubble Space Telescope data of doubly lensed quasars. Gravitational lensing occurs when the light from a distant source, like a quasar, is bent around a massive object between the source and the observer, such as a galaxy. This can result in multiple images of the same source appearing in the sky. In the case of doubly lensed quasars, the light from the quasar reaches Earth along different paths, resulting in two distinct images of the quasar. The different distances that the light travels due to the gravitational influence of the lensing object results in a time delay between the arrival of photons from each image. We can then use this information to calculate time-delay distances and further constrain the Hubble constant. I look forward to another semester as a Space Grant Fellow!

I am thrilled to announce that I have received the NASA New York Space Research Grant with the project, “Mixing In Two-Dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor Instabilities.” This grant is awarded to undergraduates with research focused on furthering advancing the initiatives of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration distributed by NASA New York Space Grant Consortium. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability occurs when a low density fluid accelerates a high density fluid, or in other words when when the "light" fluid supports the "heavy" fluid against gravity. Interfacial perturbation then grows exponentially until its amplitude becomes comparable to its wavelength. The perturbation then becomes asymmetric, with the asymmetry increasing with the Atwood number. Using our code, Pyro, I will be testing many order-accurate solvers to see if there is a difference in the amount of mixing that happens within the instabilities. In particular, there is a quantity, “alpha” that characterizes the growth rate of the instability. This quantity has been measured experimentally, however, code seems to disagree on the value. Rayleigh-Taylor is an important mixing process that happens inside stars, similar to whoever is reading this being the brightest star out there. I look forward to my journey as a NASA Space Grant Fellow!

I am excited and honored to announce that I have received a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) New York Space Grant to help facilitate my research during the Spring 2024 semester at Stony Brook University. This fiscal award is recognized to undergraduates for outstanding achievements and commitment to advancing space-related research, and it is distributed by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the NASA New York Space Grant Consortium. I aim to comprehensively investigate the phenomenon of double detonation in?sub-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs as a means to enhance our understanding of their potential role as progenitors of Type Ia supernovae. To achieve this goal, I will employ advanced computational simulations utilizing the AMReX and Castro simulation codes, two powerful tools for simulating astrophysical phenomena. My study will primarily focus on varying the masses of both the white dwarf core and the surrounding accretion layer, thereby examining a wide range of possible scenarios. The study will also attempt to ascertain the impact of simulation spatial resolution on double detonation Type Ia supernova models. This approach will enable us to gain insights into the critical factors that influence the likelihood and characteristics of double detonations in white dwarfs. By systematically comparing the results with existing models documented in the scientific literature, I aim to validate and refine our findings, contributing to the ongoing discourse in the field of supernova research.
