\thispagestyle{empty}Partonic scatterings with high momentum transfer
occur before the formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion
collisions and result in collimated collections of hadrons, called
jets. The modification of the high-virtuality parton shower in the
QGP compared to that in proton-proton collisions offers insight into
the nature of the medium's interactions with colored probes. To study
the path-length dependence of hard partons traveling through the QGP,
we apply a technique known as event-shape engineering to data from
heavy-ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=200\ \mathrm{GeV}$
at STAR. Within a given eccentricity and centrality class, charged
hadrons traveling in the event plane direction (having shorter path
length) are compared to those traveling perpendicular to it (having
longer path length). By fixing the centrality, we can control for
the energy density. We then report a comparison of the ratios of in-
and out-of-plane charged hadron spectra between two eccentricity classes,
which accesses the dependence of energy loss on the collision geometry.
