have been efficient for me to head both projects, so my colleague was given
primary status on the bubble deformation project, while I was then able to spend
more time on my flowing emulsion research while still being available to help my
colleague if needed. All three of these projects have led to presentations at soft
condensed matter physics and general physics conferences.
As Ive progressed in my academic career, I have become increasingly sure
that I made the right decision when I become as physics major. I still plan to finish
my math major, but I do not have the same passion or skill for pure mathematics as
I do for applied math and physics, which my transcript grades so. Even if my math
courses have lowered my overall GPA, I am still glad to have taken them, learning
what I could. This semester I am thrilled to be taking math/physics courses that are
directly related to the research that interests me, Intro to Fluid Dynamics and
Non-Linear Dynamics and Chaos. These courses provide me with greater
conceptual understanding of the physics that interests me as well as practice
solving actual problems, which I think will prove useful in the future.
My research and classes at JMU have been great start to my physics career
and taught me important lessons, but I want to see what another institution has to
offer and what I can offer another institution. I hope this research with expand the
way I think about physics research and soft condensed matter/complex systems,
providing me with knowledge and skills that will surely prove valuable when I apply
to graduate school as well as many other facets of my life.
