Undergraduate Studies

I have been reluctant to write much about these years. I wrote three paragraphs about these four years in the Bio Narrative section of this website. Considering all the things that happened in a short time, maybe not nearly enough coverage. Still TBD.

In my defense, I am not lazy. There was a lot of wonderful things, there was a lot of trauma. And my memory has obscured some important things, like the names. So doing that period justice will take some time and that story may never be complete enough.

I have been reluctant to write much about these years. I wrote three paragraphs about a very full year and a half in the Bio Narrative section of this website. Considering all the things that happened in a very short time, not nearly enough coverage. Still TBD.

AIAA Student Paper

When I was an undergraduate, I enrolled in an individual research session in my Junior and Senior years. This helped me spend time with faculty leading into my graduate studies and research. I was obligated to participate in AIAA regional paper competitions. Although the papers followed my interests at the time, they were sometimes produced in a hurry. As I recall I wrote two papers, one of which I still have a copy. See if you can find the math error in my windmill equations.
