Oral Presentation at the Apollo 17 ANGSA Workshop (2022)
At the 2022 ANGSA workshop, I presented my work on developing the QME Tool to over 50 scientists and researchers including Apollo 17 astronaut, Dr. Harrison Schmitt. My 20-minute presentation entailed a detailed explanation of the microanalysis tool, along with a live demo and a Q&A session.
As the only undergraduate student at the conference, I was intimidated at first, but as I interacted with the other speakers, I felt encouraged and supported by the lunar science community. The opportunity to meet with, and share my work with dozens of reputable and brilliant researchers was an unforgettable one. I carry the passion and advice that was lent to me by them, and I hope to continue participating in such conferences throughout my research career.
Poster at the Midstates Physical Sciences, Math and Computer Science Undergraduate Research Symposium (2022)
In order to gain more experience in presenting my research, and sharing information about the QME Tool, I applied to present a poster at the MCMS research symposium. I was looking forward to sharing my work with my peers and gaining new insights about how different audiences view and understand my research. It was quite exciting to interact with Computer Science and Planetary science majors, since their fields were closely related to my work. We talked about the common challenges we faced, and how we overcame them in unique ways. A larger research symposium like this allowed me to expand my network and reach out to students across various institutions.
This experience also allowed me to improve my presentation skills, and when I presented my poster at the WashU Physics research symposium, I won 1st place in the undergraduate category for my poster.
