Audrey is a physics PhD student at the University of Washington, Seattle. She works in software development and data science for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. Her primary work is on the development of a novel algorithm for crowded-field photometry and source detection within the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) data-processing framework. Additionally, as part of the Alert Production Team, she works with large, complex data sets from LSST to develop and implement software algorithms to correct for the differential chromatic refraction effect that occurs in data from all ground-based telescopes—providing the first image-based calibration technique tailored to observing conditions.

She completed her undergraduate degree at UW double majoring in Comprehensive Physics and Astronomy. Additionally, she spent time as an exchange student at the University of Bristol in the UK. More recently, Audrey was a US Fulbright Student and visiting researcher at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago, Chile.

Outside of academics, she owns two small businesses, biaNatural and GoSeeAudrey Tutoring. Audrey is also the head coach for the Bellevue Junior Cheer Team and the Director of the UW Physics Program for Advanced Training in Hands-on Science (PATHS).
