Awards

I received the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics Outstanding Poster Award for my poster entitled “Position Tolerance of Permanent Magnets in the MUSE Stellarator,” presented virtually at the 2020 APS-DPP conference.

I was awarded a commendation of excellence from the President of Reed College for my academic achievements my senior year.

I received Honorable Mention in American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics Visual Science Communication Contest for my submission of my ParaView plot of gradient results illustrating the sensitivities of field error on the last closed flux surface to permanent magnet positions in the MUSE
stellarator.
