I am a senior physics and electrical engineering major, math (non-applied) minor, taking junior-level classes and staying an extra year to finish all of it up! Outside of class I love dancing, painting, baking, eating, and martial arts, among many other things. I often teach myself math, physics, and electrical engineering in my (small amount of) spare time as well.
Hello, World!
 
Credentials: As an electrical engineering major, I have experience with lots of different lab equipment, especially those instruments used in building electronics and circuits. I was a computer science major for a year and am fluent in C, C++, and Java, and I am working on Python and JavaScript now. I'm looking forward to learning LaTeX in Advanced Lab.
 
I have also worked through the Los Angeles-based Electric Vehicle Technology Group's satellite in New Jersey, where I grew up, on electric vehicle-related projects. In May of 2008 I programmed (in Java) an interface between serial ports in the Toyota RAV4 EV (an all-electric vehicle) that dynamically displayed graphs in real-time and alerted the driver when certain parameters were out of their recommended ranges. This software has since been modified for use in other vehicles. Additionally, in high school I worked for Jaguar Technologies, a Geek Squad-like company that made house calls to both homes and businesses to fix broken technology. I got very good at removing viruses from computers then. :)
 
I am also working on a patent right now with my father that is related to photovoltaic cells, which is my main research interest and is what I hope to work on in graduate school. I hope to get a Ph. D. in renewable energy after I graduate from undergraduate school.
