My life's work and random facts:
- I am pursuing a PhD from Northwestern University Engineering Sciences and Applied Math starting Autumn Quarter, 2009.
- Member of SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and Association for Computing Machinery
- I graduated the University of Washington's Applied and Computational Mathematical Sciences Bachelor's of Science Degree in June 2009.
- I helped people in AMATH301, the University of Washington Beginning Scientific Computing course in the AMATH department. I am also working on some supplementary course notes: Beginning 'Beginning Scientific Computing' to ease the transistion into that course for people without the linear algebra and differential equations background.
- I am also doing research in computational neuroscience with Dr. Eric Shea-Brown, specifically the Izhikevich model of neuron firing, and probably something with correlations in spike trains. Updates:
- One large accomplishment, my neurowriter is posted on GitHub and available for download.
- I presented at the University of Washington Undergraduate Research Symposium: URP poster
- I presented a similar but updated project at the SIAM Annual Meeting in 2009: Denver.
- I wrote a program for managing hosts.allow files on collections of systems called GenHosts. I should write this up someday.
