Research projects
     Studied the behavior of a test particle in interaction with an N-particle system of harmonic oscillators having various frequency distributions using the FORTRAN programming language.  (Advisor:  Roberto Onofrio).

     Developed a highly modular general coordinate transformation package, GCT, used to simulate the total perturbed magnetic field from assumed helical and poloidal flux perturbations using the IDL programming language.  (Advisor: Jon Menard).

     Improved upon a predictive free-boundary auto-convergient axisymmetric equilibrium solver (ISOLVER) using the von Hagenow method to compute the boundary flux value.  (Advisor: Jon Menard).

Publications:
     "Development of a free-boundary auto-convergent equilibrium solver", submitted to DOE Journal of Undergraduate Research.

     "Calculations of the perturbed magnetic field from internal kink and tearing modes in high-beta NSTX plasmas using the IDL programing language", submitted to DOE Journal of Undergraduate Research and Journal of Young Investigators.
