Rebecca McMullen - Who is she?
I am a graduate student at Montana State University, working toward a Ph.D. in Solar Physics under Dana Longcope. Physics research is like big, complex story problems that most everyone hated in school, except for those of us who grow up to be physicists. My day to day schedule is less intense now that I've passed the
qualifying exams, but full of research. I run fluid dynamic simulations of X-ray Bright Points (XBP) to study the low-energy interactions of different layers in the sun's outer atmosphere. Every now and then I build or admini
strate a web site (like this one). What spare time I have I try to spend in the great outdoors, where I hike in summer and ski in winter.
