    Supernovae X-ray Emission Research Team Leader
    overview
    I compiled novel and innovative techniques to transform complex data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory into understandable and useful results. I additionally developed and debugged Python scripts to effectively and efficiently process and model large amounts of data. I then independently transcribed hundreds of thousands of data points obtained from space satellites into detailed images for implementation in the evolutionary studies of distant stars. Lastly, I presented solutions to debriefings, seminars, and conferences.
