Grinnell College Squires Lecture
Talk, Grinnell College, Grinnell, IA, USA
I was invited to give a talk on my research as a part of Grinell’s Squire Lecture Series. I was also given an honorarium which I had to decline because of Visa requirements.
Post Uni.
Invited Talk, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica
I was asked to give a talk to students about the process of applying to jobs and graduate school.
Betterborodov
Talk, University of Arizona, Tuscon, AZ
I presented on a calculation I did that results in a fairly good approximation to geodesics for static spherical black holes. The Approximation can be seen as the weak “Magnification” limit of lensing, and is qualitatively different and more powerful than the weak lensing limit.

Interview, Youtube, Stanford, CA
I was featured on Adam Simpson’s youtube channel where he interviews minority researcher and promotes diversity in stem.
Inner-Tracking Detector
Talk, Brookhaven National Labs, Upton, NY, USA
The LHC periodically shuts down on a predetermined schedule, which gives time for experiments like ATLAS to upgrade their detectors. I was briefly involved in the quality assurance pipeline during the development of ATLAS’s Inner Tracker (ITk) upgrade.
