Fun with Plasma

I figured it'd be a good idea to update the main page, since I haven't done so in quite some time! The main reason behind this has been my new position as a grad student at UW-Madison researching plasma physics with the Pegasus Toroidal Experiment research group (website here).

I've been doing all sorts of stuff, from computer programming to plumbing. It's been fun playing with things like plasma guns! (Nope, no Doom-esque destruction -- thankfully -- but pretty cool nonetheless.)

I suppose I'll just have to see how my rosy opinion of the job changes when classes start, although I think it'd be pretty hard to change my opinion that doing fusion research is both cool and fun at the same time.
