Research

This summer (2004) I worked on a two-dimensional system of particles experiencing electrostatic repulsions and dipole-dipole interactions. I have a PowerPoint presentation available upon request. This fall, I’m doing exactly the same thing for my senior project although I’m refining our existing data pool and hope to do some further work with dipole interactions.


Interests

At this point, all I can say is that I’m ready to be done with school for a while. I would like to get a graduate degree, but I don’t know what I’d do. I’m considering a masters in mechanical engineering, or a masters in computational physics – either one can get me a job.


Other/About Me

Well, I’m in my fifth year of undergraduate study, and I should be getting my B.S. next May. Almost all of my friends have graduated on moved on to grad school. They’ve placed in UM-Twin Cities, MSU, UT-Knoxville, Texas A&M, and UNC – so maybe there’s a chance for me out there, somewhere, too.
