My Work Samples

Programming

• When the Kenyon College Writing Center moved online due to COVID, I created an automated sign-up and logging system for remote appointments. After the school returned to in-person learning, I added functionality for in-person appointments as well.
  • Designed a spreadsheet with two displays: an interactive calendar where students could sign up for appointments, and a log of information about previous appointments
  • Automated the process of logging appointments, emailing relevant parties, cancelling appointments, and substituting consultants for specific shifts using Google's Apps Script API

Statistics

• I applied logistic regression techniques to a 2017 live-caller opinion survey to explore belief in human-caused climate change among U.S. adults.

  • Built models and produced figures with an R script
  • Wrote the paper in Overleaf
  • Compiled the paper to a PDF

• Using a dataset of all documented fatal police encounters from the year 2015, I compared nonparametric (distribution-free) statistical methods to their more common normality-assuming counterparts.

  • Analyzed data and produced figures with an R script
  • Wrote the paper in Overleaf
  • Compiled the paper to a PDF

Applied Linear Algebra

• I wrote my capstone paper for Kenyon College's Mathematics major on the linear algebra underlying waveform filters used in music production.
  • Produced figures and audio with MATLAB
  • Wrote the paper in Overleaf
  • Compiled the paper to a PDF

Combinatorics

• My final project explored the maximum cut problem, giving Hadlock's P-solution for planar graphs and the Goemans-Williamson NP-approximation for the general problem.
  • Wrote the paper in Overleaf
  • Compiled the paper to a PDF
