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.
