Solar
Physics REU 2008
Montana State University ![]() My
Project::
The main goal of my project is
to
determine how twisted fragmented flux tubes are, while considering how
twisted the parent tubes are in relation to the extremities, and
how the twists are distributed with
fragment size. I will compare observational findings to models
presented in Longscope et al.’s paper “Flux Tube Twist”, which outlines
their alternative source finding of the Σ-effect, as contrasted with
twisting due to the α-effect and Coriolis force.
Me:: I am from the suburbs west of
St.
Louis, Missouri. I attend the University of Missouri- St. Louis in
pursuit of a B.A. in Physics, minor in Mathamatics, minor in
Psychology, and certificate in the Honors College Program. I plan to
graduate in May 2009, and attend graduate school thereafter. I am
interested in nonlinear dynamics and chaos, astrophysics, neuroscience,
and anything related. I plan to continue being a research assistant and
teaching assistant in graduate study. I have not found where I would
like to go yet, but I have my sights on New Zealand.
