August 2025 - Present

Undergraduate Researcher

Working with Dr. Paul La Plante, I use the Bridges-2 supercomputer to run Zerion simulations of the Epoch of Reionization and extract their kSZ angular power spectra. My research focuses on developing a machine learning emulator that predicts the kSZ power spectrum from reionization model parameters. Using Latin Hypercube Sampling, I generate training data, process simulation outputs, compute power spectra with Fourier methods, and train a neural network to rapidly model Cl without running new simulations.

The Quorum Programming Language

August 2025 - December 2025

Contributor

Our team extended the Quorum programming language, which was built with accessibility as a core principle, to integrate directly with Apple’s iOS accessibility features. Using MobiVM and Apple’s UIAccessibility framework, we created a bridge that allows Quorum developers to build accessible apps and games for iPhones and iPads. Unlike current market solutions, our approach gives blind developers the ability not just to use accessible apps, but to create them from start to finish. This empowers visually impaired students to practice programming skills in a real-world environment. Educators will also benefit, as they can introduce inclusive app development in classrooms and coding camps. Our solution creates an ecosystem where visually impaired developers can collaborate, innovate, and publish apps independently. Ultimately, our solution opens new doors for both learning and professional opportunities in software development.
