Ying Zhu
it wouldn't be called research,
would it?
-- Albert Eistein
& David Mckenzie
My name is Ying Zhu. I am currently a senior student at
Carroll College of Helena, MT.
I am majoring in mathematics with a physics minor. This summer I have been fortunate enough to work with
Dr. David Mckenzie
and Adria Updike through the 2005 Solar REU Program in Montana State University, Bozeman. In
this project, part of a larger NASA-funded study, we modeled the magnetic
fields of ejection progenitor structures, and the Sun as a whole, and seek
for a correlation between these models and the strength of the resulting
"space weather."
This ten-week program has been a
great research experience in my academic life. Besides achieving a lot from
involving a real world research problem, I am also more clear about my
future goal - getting into the research area! And also, it's always
been a great pleasure to work with Dr. David Mckenzie and my collaborator
Adria Updike. We had fun together. Of course, being in Bozeman is one of
the best choices for the summer.
