Thesis for the Computational Science Master's program at Central Washington University. 3D extension of an analog of cosmological particle creation in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe by numerically simulating a Bose-Einstein condensate with a time-dependent scattering length.

Computational physicist using high-performance computing to investigate spontaneously created massless, spin-0 phonons in analog (3+1)-dimensional inflationary cosmologies arising from Bose-Einstein condensates.

Previous research includes computationally investigating the role of microscopic molecular structure (quadrupolar) in emergent quantum many-body phenomena of a Bose-Einstein condensate of rigid-rotor molecules. Spoilers: there's a second order transition between the uniaxial and biaxial liquid-crystal-like nematic phases.
