Welcome! This page contains details about my summer research at Montana State University. I am working on a project to examine the twist distribution of the magnetic flux tubes in sunspots using data from the Haleakala Stokes Polarimeter. My job involved creating an IDL program to make radial plots of various components of sunspot magnetic fields using a model of a cylindrical flux tube.
Advisors: Dibyendu Nandi and Dick Canfield
