    Volunteer

    Under the guidance of Dr. Elizabeth Disbrow and Jessica Ross

    I used MATLAB to write software to be used by their lab in support of their research. The software allowed them to perform spectral analysis to explore the Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and tremor movements recorded by CleveMed Kinesia Quantitative Motor Assessment System.

    Two nights a week

    the on campus observatory was open to the public. Interested people

    primarily students enrolled in astronomy classes

    could come for the hour and see objects through the telescope while also learning about the placement and lore of visible constellations. As the observatory technician it was my duty to plan and carry out an interesting and informative presentation while operating the telescope.
