Western training and lunar Trojan survey work
I completed both my BSc in Astrophysics, with distinction, and my MSc in Astronomy at Western
University. A major outcome of the MSc work was
A Dedicated Lunar Trojan Asteroid Survey with Small Ground-Based Telescopes,
published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
That project focused on positional astronomy, dynamical astronomy, and practical survey design. It
also led to my submission of observations of a previously unknown near-Earth object to the
Minor Planet Center, while placing an upper limit on
the number of asteroids co-orbiting Earth with the Moon.
The work was later featured through Western University's
Inspiring Minds campaign,
highlighted through Discovery Canada, and covered by
Western's media relations.
