Lehigh REU 2011 Results (Janus Ellipsoids)

Hi all,
Once again I don't really have time to write much (unpacking, repacking, GREs, family visits, you know). So, I will direct you firstly to the paper that the Lehigh research group is working on publishing. It's up at the ArXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.2571 (not my own project, but it's what inspired all the work I did [and yes, I helped write it, woo having my name on there]).

From what was 90% my own sweat tears and blood, here's the poster on my project:


Hopefully it'll be a paper some day, but the grad student who's theoretically been working on writing it hasn't responded to my emails this week, so I don't know what's happening there. Oh well. I'm planning to take the poster to the March APS meeting, so if you have questions that aren't easy to ask in writing, you could ask me then.

Lehigh REU research: a Brief summary

Below you'll find the 'abstract' we'll be sending to the NSF summarizing my summer work. I did some other stuff besides what's mentioned, and later I'll give more details, but for now I just want to put something up before I leave tomorrow.
