Dark Energy Survey
GEM Fellowship


During the summer of 2011 I participated in an internship as part of the GEM Fellowship program at SLAC National Accelerator Lab. I worked with Dark Energy Survey group under the supervision of Aaron Roodman and Kevin Reil on several projects, which includes
- The focus-and-alignment system, measuring out-of-focus “doughnuts” to optimize the DES images in real-time.
- Developing Discrete PID controller in Python for multiple input single output system.
- Star/Galaxy Classification using a method of Artificial Neural Network and Boosted Decision Making through TMVA (a root based Multi Variable Analysis software)
