Extinction Due to Dust in Other Galaxies (Research with custom Python fitting program)
Developed a Python-based custom fitting workflow to estimate likely parameter values used in dust models for QSO observations. The work required preparing inputs, iterating model computations, and validating fits against known QSO profiles and observational data. While the resume frames this as scientific modeling, the labeling-like component was producing labeled parameter outputs derived from the fitting process. • DataType is modeled as computer-code-driven parameter labeling rather than image/object annotation. • Used a custom Python fitting program to generate probable values for variables of interest. • Constrained dust makeup of galaxies using background QSOs. • Contributed to a senior honors thesis based on the same research theme.
