I received a B.S. degree in Metallurgical and Material Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in 2021, and I will be graduating in Spring 2023 with a M.S. degree in the Space Resources Masters Program in at the Colorado School of Mines. I had the opportunity to work with Professor Tomoko Matsuo through an REU in Solar and Space Physics in the Summer of 2018. I have been lucky enough to continue working with Processor Matsuo ever since.
