Bryan Hurlbutt
Howdy! I'm Bryan Hurlbutt. I was born and raised in Twin Falls, Idaho,
and am an undergraduate physics major at The
Colorado College . Currently, I am participating in Montana
State University's Summer 2003 Solar Physics REU. Research Experience
for Undergraduates (REU)
is a National Science Foundation program that provides scientific internships
for undergraduate students. For my ten week internship, I have been working
with Dr. Stéphane
Régnier studying the Solar Active Region 8210. Thanks to this
research I have been introduced to solar physics and exposed to a real
research environment where I have improved my computer programming
and Unix skills, learned to use the Interactive Data Language (IDL), and
refined my understanding of the scientific process. For more information
about my research, check out the presentation below.
Thanks to MSU, the MSU Solar Physics Group, the NSF, and all the REU students for an excellent summer of science, playing outside, and making great friends!!!
....oh yeah, thank you La Parrilla Challenge for a free months worth
of burritos without which none of this would have been possible.
