Currently an undergraduate at BGSU. I am pursuing a degree in physics with minors in astronomy, computer science, and math. I have access to the telescopes provided here at BGSU, and currently work on staff as a part of the stargaze staff.

I hope to further my observational career! My goal is to be an "experimenter" in astronomy: logging observations and acquiring data, and using this data to learn more about the universe. I am not sure about specialization yet, but leaning towards radio astronomy. Galaxy formation, nucleosynthesis, exoplanets, and orbital mechanics are all possible paths I'm looking towards.

For any questions, please contact me!

04/04/15 Lunar Eclipse

Photos were taken using my phone camera, Samsung Galaxy S4. This was my first time taking pictures on the telescope.

Observing conditions: the eclipse began when the moon was ~30 degrees alt, and continued until below the horizon. The sun began to rise, and the moon was no longer visible after a short time through the camera.
