Research Experience
“Divers4Oceanography.org”, January and July-September 2012
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, working with Drs. Andres and Kwon
Examining the feasibility of using scuba divers’ temperature data for coastal oceanographic research. Analysis of initial data and experiments. Presented at WHOI, January 2011.
Introduction to Partial
Differential Equations Using Fluid Mechanics Applications, January to June 2012
Thesis in Mathematics at
Skidmore, advised by Professor Rachel Roe-Dale
Presenting a brief history
and introduction to differential equations and fluid mechanics, followed by
work similar to Burchard, 2001(J. Phys.
Ocean.) and Craig, 1996(J. Geophys.
Research).
“The deepening rate of the ocean surface boundary layer under breaking waves”, September 2011 to May 2012
Skidmore College Department of Physics, working with Professor Greg Gerbi
Using analysis and numerical simulation to examine the transmission of turbulent kinetic energy through a stratified ocean column with wave breaking.
“Encapsulation by Janus Particles”, May to August 2011
Lehigh University Department of Physics REU, working under Professor Jim Gunton
Used standard Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the efficiency of encapsulating spherical particles by Janus ellipsoids as a function of the density and ellipsoid aspect ratio. Presentations: Lehigh July 2011, Skidmore October 2011.
Articles: submitted “Encapsulation by Janus Oblate Spheroids”; accepted Langmuir “Self Assembly of Janus Ellipsoids”
“Electric charge memory design using finite element methods in Java”, June to August 2010
Skidmore College Department of Physics, working with Professor Andrew Skinner
Programmed and evaluated a finite-element electric field estimation which was used to examine possible designs of charge-holding “Coulomb Pucks”. Presented at Skidmore October 2010.
