I'm a Physics Ph.D. student at University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana and hold a B.S. in Physics and a B.S. in Mathematics awarded by Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. I study nuclear structure in the excellent nuclear physics froup here. I enjoy engineering and programming projects, and I believe that this fact has influenced me towards the experimental side of nuclear structure.
I am currently studying nuclear chirality in nuclei in the A~130 mass region (at the moment Ce-133). I am also studying other structural effects arising from the triaxial shape that nuclei in this region attain at small to intermediate spins and maintain until the onset of super-deformation.
I have written a data analysis tool meant to replace both the BLUE libraries and the Radware suite of programs. I am did in this because both of the aforementioned programs are getting quite old, do not take advantage of modern technologies and advances, and are less versatile than one might like in a field where analysis of multi-dimensional data is becoming more and more common. Currently I am testing this analysis tool (Multi-Fold Analysis Software a.k.a. MultiFASe) against the other two programs before I release it.
While I haven't done much editing (mostly very small things until now) I believe that Wikipedia is a great project and hope to help add to it and refine it as my expertise grows.
Finally if someone can point me towards a set of circumaural headphones with excellent sound quality that wont fall apart after 9 months and cost less than an arm and a leg, I would be grateful.
Oh and the only reason I didn't capitalize the S in shadow was because I didn't notice until I had already created the account... oops.
