List of projects:
Statistical and Dynamical Properties of a Vibrated Granular Polymer
A beaded chain was placed on a vibrating surface in order to study its motion and glean insight on the behavior of microscopic polymers.
Lego Bridge Builder
A block of simulated lego bricks which span a gap is adjusted using a simulated annealing algorithm until it is deemed stable and lightweight.
Statistics tutorial
Design and analysis of experiments is covered.
