Anthony Burrow Resume (Full)

Education

  • Ph.D. in Physics
    University of Oklahoma, July 2024
  • B.S. in Astrophysics
    University of Oklahoma, May 2017

Research

  • Generative AI Trainer (Dec. 2024 – July 2025)
    Independent Contractor

    Apply expertise in physics, mathematics, and programming to evaluate LLM responses to STEM prompts.

  • Graduate Research Assistant (July 2019 – July 2024)
    University of Oklahoma, Advised by Dr. Eddie Baron

    My PhD research focused on a statistical treatment of observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). As a result, I’ve identified correlations between many spectroscopic and photometric properties of SNe Ia, which aid in constraining models and making predictions for the scientific community.

    Publications:
    See my publications.
    Software Products:
    SNEx - Spectrum extrapolation into the near-infrared using PCA.

    Spextractor - Fast spectrum-smoothing using Gaussian processes; spectrum preprocessing; other useful features.

    SNIaDCA - Wrapper for classifying SNe Ia with Gaussian mixture models.

  • Undergraduate Research Assistant (June 2015 – May 2017)
    University of Oklahoma, Advised by Dr. John Wisniewski

    My work concentrated on the observation, reduction, and analysis of data taken of star clusters to improve our understanding of stars with variable circumstellar disks.

Teaching

  • Lecturer (Aug. 2025 – Present)
    University of Oklahoma

    I currently deliver lectures and develop course materials for undergraduate mathematics and astrophysics courses.

  • Graduate Teaching Assistant (Aug. 2019 – Dec. 2021)
    University of Oklahoma

    Provided lectures, guide group discussions, and grading for undergraduate students in Introductory Astronomy and Physics courses. Also led students with hands-on operation of telescopes during astronomy labs.

Technical Presentation

  • POISE Collaboration Meeting, August 2023: Extrapolation of Type Ia Spectra into the Near-Infrared Using PCA; a final discussion leading to Burrow et al. (2024).

  • POISE Collaboration Meeting, July 2022: Extrapolation of Type Ia Spectra into the Near-Infrared Using PCA; the beginning of the project leading to Burrow et al. (2024).

  • CSP Collaboration Workshop, September 2020: Carnegie Supernova Project: Classification of Type Ia Supernovae; a presentation of the publication by Burrow et al. (2020).

  • American Astronomical Society Winter Conference, January 2017: Poster presentation highlighting my undergraduate research.

  • OU REU Program, Summer 2015: Several presentations describing the results of my undergraduate research during this program.
