Hello! I'm an undergraduate student in physics at CSU Sacramento California. My passion for science ranges from explosions in the sky, Mars, rockets, computation, particles, and theory. I dream of being in space one day.

As a research assistant to Dr. Barniol Duran I study the jet structure of short gamma ray bursts and their luminosity. We think there may be a connection between the mass accretion rate of black holes and the luminosity of gamma ray bursts since both of their functions turn out to be proportional and broken power laws. Understanding the relationship between these two properties could help us understand that the luminosity function is an intrinsic property to short gamma ray bursts.
