Conferences and Workshops
The best part about being a graduate student is you get to travel a lot to present your work at various conferences worldwide attend workshops and grow your knowledge and skills!
1. CASCA 2022 AGM Online, hosted by the University of Waterloo
Poster title: “A statistical analysis of the polarization properties of dense cores. Is there any indication that large-scale magnetic fields shape the formation of these cores?”
2. MIT Haystack Observatory July 2022, Westford MA
This was a visit to our collaborators to discuss our project the Balloon-borne VLBI Experiment(BVEX).
3. CASPER 2022 Workshop, Cagliari, Italy
A week-long workshop hosted by INAF (National Institute for Astrophysics) for
The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER). Hands-on experience working with the latest generation of FPGAs in radio astronomy.
4. 2023 Scientific Ballooning Technologies Workshop, Minneapolis, MN
Talk title: “Technical Challenges in Balloon-borne VLBI”
This conference brought the scientific ballooning community together to discuss the latest developments and updates on the current ballooning projects.
5. CASCA 2023 AGM, Penticton, BC
Talk title: “BVEX: Balloon-borne VLBI EXperiment“
6. CSA 2023 Stratos Campaign
We flew our very own BVEXTracker a high-cadence compact position tracking sensor package on a CNES gondola. The goal of this package was to characterize the vibrational environment of the gondola and develop position reconstruction algorithm for the main BVEX flight.
7. 20th NRAO Synthesis Imaging Workshop, Socorro, NM 2024
lectures on: Radio interferometry imaging techniques, data calibration, data cleaning, RFI flagging, etc. Hands-on VLBA data reduction tutorial. VLA site visit and antenna climb.
8. CASCA 2024 AGM, Toronto ON
Talk title: “An RFSoC-Based Backend and Timing Reference System for Balloon-Borne VLBI Experiment”
