World Climate AnalysisGlobal temperatures are rising, and my analysis suggests it is related to the industrial revolution. In a Python environment, I pick apart surface temperature data from various cities around the world to create monthly averages ranging from the year 1745 to 2013. By making visuals of each locations' temperature change over the time of the industrial revolution (early-to-mid 1800s), I am able to see an increasing trend in temperatures for multiple cities around the world.

Finding the Charge to Mass Ratio of the ElectronThe goal of this experiment is to measure the charge to mass ratio of the electron. This is accomplished by measuring the trajectory of electrons, the applied magnetic field strength, electron gun voltage and comparing the force required to maintain a particle's circular motion and the Lorentz force. This experiment helped me understand how to apply relevant physics principles to devise an experimental procedure that will produce relevant data.

Dual Moon SimulatorHow stable would the Earth-Moon system behave if the Moon suddenly captured one of its own? And what kinds of orbit patterns might be most stable? This project is an exploration of the stable Earth-Dual moon orbits. Through this project I was introduced to computational modeling and orbital mechanics. This computational physics project belongs in my portfolio because it displays my ability to break down a system into its fundamental parts, encode the physical interactions into a function, apply a solver to simulate the system, and make visualizations to answer a question.
