I am delighted to report that a few months ago I was accepted into an international summer school on Modern Computational Science: Simulation of Extreme Events. This summer school will be held in Oldenburg, Germany for a duration of 2 weeks. I will be making daily blog posts about my experiences, both educational and recreational! [...]
As I start my new job as a Research Engineer, I am hoping to have a lot more time on my hands to continue some of my readings. I am always interested in new areas of science and new perspectives on old ideas. Below are a few of the books I am currently reading and [...]
Today I graduated with my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with minors in Mathematics and Physics! Above is a picture of my family and I after the ceremony (Left to Right: Hannah [Sis], Dad, Mom, Me, Daniel [Bro], & Abraham [Bro]). My oldest sister Faith was the only sibling not present but she [...]
