Deconstructing Hubble: How a Flawed 1929 Paper Changed Cosmology
As a part of a PHYSDepot undergraduate literature group, I led a session on Hubble’s 1929 recession velocity paper. In this, I lead a “scavenger hunt” to find both the surface-level and deeper flaws in the paper, and how Hubble still ended up with a right conclusion despite these issues. The entire scavenger hunt was summarized after the fact into a PDF document provided in this post. Continue reading Deconstructing Hubble: How a Flawed 1929 Paper Changed Cosmology
Demolishing Tacit Knowledge and My Commitment to PHYSDepot
A short blog post dicussing tacit knowledge, and my commitment to reducing tacit knowledge barriers in physics/astronomy curricula through my work with PHYSDepot. Continue reading Demolishing Tacit Knowledge and My Commitment to PHYSDepot
Building Publication-Ready Figures: A Walkthrough of the Professional Plotting Notebook
A blog post regarding an open-source notebook designed to combat the tacit knowledge barrier of making professional, CVD-friendly posts. Hosted on GitHub and designed for PHYSDepot. Continue reading Building Publication-Ready Figures: A Walkthrough of the Professional Plotting Notebook
Simulating Phase Transitions: Building a 2D Ising Model in TypeScript
The blog post regarding a web-deployed 2D Ising model simulation, written in TypeScript, HTML 5 Canvas, and Chart.js. Continue reading Simulating Phase Transitions: Building a 2D Ising Model in TypeScript
From Planets to Cosmology: How I Built a 10-Week Summer Astronomy Reading Group
A behind-the-scenes look at designing and running a 10-week summer astrophysics reading group. Covers curriculum planning across stellar evolution, explanets, and relativity, blending breaking science news with practical physics calculations and custom HTML slide designs. Continue reading From Planets to Cosmology: How I Built a 10-Week Summer Astronomy Reading Group
Advanced Physics Laboratory Reports
Physics 5700 Advanced Physics Laboratory PRL-style reports from three long-term experiments throughout a semester. This includes: 2-Slit Interference in the Quantum Limit, Boltzmann Constant Measurement via Johnson Noise, and Visible Spectroscopy experiments. Continue reading Advanced Physics Laboratory Reports
A Positive Disaster
As a part of a two-semester undergraduate Order of Magnitude (OoM) astronomy course, the second semester culminated in a group project where we created our own OoM problems. Our group created a problem titled “A Positive Disaster”, a problem about ripping electrons off the moon! Continue reading A Positive Disaster

A Comparison of tf.data.Dataset with Manual Image Loading
Loading data for AI models can be RAM and time-intensive. For a larger project (HackAI 2025) with a big dataset, I ran an optimization test on a manual loader and a Tensorflow pipeline to see the variations in time and RAM. As expected, Tensorflow’s model is much more efficient. Continue reading A Comparison of tf.data.Dataset with Manual Image Loading
