Name: Augustus Thomas
Title: Exploring Optimizations in the COSI High-Level Data Analysis Library
Majors: Physics; Computer Science
Advisors: Laura DeGroot; John Musgrave

CosiPy is a custom-written data analysis Python package for the upcoming Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) – a gamma-ray space telescope set for satellite launch in the near-future. The CosiPy data processing library will provide data retrieval and analysis functionality to astrophysicists, allowing them to make observations of nucleosynthesis, black hole accretion, and other gamma-ray band events using the COSI instrument’s observational dataset.
