I really like mathematics. I've always been interested in it. I'm more analysis than algebra, though I certainly got a good dose of both learning the ways of quantum field theory. I reckon the fun starts at elliptic functions. I'm also hugely enthusiastic about geometric mechanics, though I'm not particularly good at it.
I love taking an idea and attacking it with Mathematica. Such projects in the past include - A program that turns an mp3 back into musical notation (work in progress!)
- Mechanics of vibrations in space elevator tethers
- A variant of nested sampling with genetic algorithm undertones
- Modelling of alternative economic systems
- Orbital mechanics
- Fluid dynamics
- Atmospheric heat transfer for weather prediction using an optical thermometer
- Mechanics of atmospheric re-entry
- Mechanisms for single-stage return from Mars
- A genetic algorithm to find optimal routes for the Hyperloop
