Jake Mccoy’s Expertise I am a Ph.D. candidate in Astronomy & Astrophysics at Penn State University with an expected September 2019 completion date. By competitively securing ~$300k of funding from a NASA fellowship and ~$75k of beamline time at the Berkeley Lab Advanced Light Source synchrotron facility, I pursued cutting-edge techniques in nanofabrication to manufacture and test new diffraction gratings for x-ray telescopes. Over my graduate career, I accomplished the following: • Designed and fabricated blazed reflection gratings specialized for x-rays using advanced electron-beam lithography and nanoimprint • Verified x-ray performance of fabricated gratings through beamline testing • Programmed FPGAs and assisted in launch preparations and recovery for a NASA sounding rocket launched from White Sands Missile Range • Developed expertise in astrophysical x-ray spectroscopy and optics of diffraction gratings
