I like to keep myself busy, so I thought I would share my progress on several projects that I am working on or have finished.
The projects listed below are from research interests, work-related projects, and stuff I do on the weekends.
TT9 is a massively parallel quicklook processing and data quality control system front end to standard data processing for the
Chandra X-ray Observatory mission.
This project began as my undergraduate thesis work with Joe
Cassinelli at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Joe and I are continuing work on
this project because of its fascinating potential. Utilizing model atmospheres we are probing the luminosity limit of
supermassive cool stars.
This is a research project I am working on with Joy Nichols and Nancy Evans from the CfA.
The project's purpose is to analyze the energy distribution and line characteristics from
FUSE observations of several O and B stars. This information will help improve stellar
evolutionary calculations.
This is a research project I completed with Joy Nichols of the CfA.
We were investigating column densities of O VI as a
diagnostic of shocks to compare with shock models. Cyg OB1 has an elongated shape and is an interesting system for the study of
shocks.
PSM Technical Services, Inc. is a provider of Process Safety and Risk Management services. The company is owned and operated
by my father. I was employed as a technician for technical drawings and developed an extensive document management system
and database to aid clients in the compliance of OSHA and EPA laws. I currently continue on remotely as IS manager of our network,
website, and email.
Projects soon to be listed:
- Cyclic Dynamics of the Ruffed Grouse in Northern Wisconsin
- The Mendygral.org hosting and email service
- Top Secret Project Ocean
