Hello! I'm a Physics PhD candidate and graduate research assistant at Montana State University where I study solar and experimental physics with my advisor, Dr. Charles Kankelborg.  My current work involves building the Full-sun Ultraviolet Rocket SpecTrograph (FURST), which is a NASA sounding rocket mission set to launch in late 2022.  I'm also investigating explosive events in the solar transition region using data from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS).
