Physics Department REU Program
Welcome to my summer 2015 physics REU
website. Below are links to pages that outline various aspects of my project and general
experience during this program.
Project Overview - Overview of project and research logs about different
portions of the project
Results & Simulations - Visualization of simulations and results. Final
presentation can be found here as well
About Me & REU Fun - Social side of the REU
Note to
future applicants: This REU was a
phenomenal experience and has motivated me to pursue Theoretical Biophysics for
graduate school. I was able to work in a graduate level environment on a
challenging and rewarding project. From this experience you will gain
invaluable skills and contacts. I gained insight and skills in the field of
theoretical biophysics research and found it to be very exciting. Every day
posed a new challenge that I looked forward to figuring out. Outside of the
research it offers an invaluable expansion of your professional network. All
the advisors were friendly and approachable. Also the other REU students
quickly become old friends who you explore the town with. It’s a great opportunity
to grow yourself as a scientist, extent your network and meet other like-minded
peers.
