The picture is of me with my kitten Moe and the love of my life Keltie!
I am a physics student at U.B.C. I am currently (Sept 2004) starting my graduate degree, my main field of interest is theoretical astrophysics.
I completed my BSc at Bishop's University under the supervision of Dr. Lorne Nelson. My honors thesis was titled "Investigation of the Conditions for Steady Nuclear Burning on the Surface of White Dwarfs" and consisted of a computational investigation of a slice of parameter space (Mass accretion rate and white dwarf mass).
Einstein@Home is another distributed project that I look forward to helping!
www.kingdomofloathing.com is perhaps the best free game in the history of the world... don't let the need to sign up throw you off, it takes two seconds and is so very much worth it. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run Seti@home because I feel that computer power around the world should not be going to waste. Idle CPUs are the work of the devil (atheist really... it just sounds really dramatic), and I would like to do my part to ensure that my CPU does not go to unappreciated. When Einstein@Home is up and running I plan on moving most of my CPU effort to it as I feel it's objectives are more noble. Don't get me wrong finding life out there would be great....
In the grand scheme of things the Seti mission is pretty silly, even if they find something I am not convinced it will really mean anything... but it is much more noble then an unused CPU!
