Students
Adam Blum - Adam is a junior Physics major from Delaware County Pennsylvania. He is studying oscillon production in cosmology models using general purpose GPU computation with Cuda C++.
Eve Currens - Eve Currens is a physics major.
Christine Kessens - Christine Kessens is a physics major from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Amanda Miller - Amanda is a junior physics major from Columbus, Ohio. Currently, she is studying a potential dark matter candidate with a version of GABE which uses the equation of motion from a Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI)- like model.
Reid Pfaltzgraff-Carlson - Reid is a sophomore physics major from Cincinnati, Ohio. He is using a version of GABE that incorporates gravitational wave physics to study the nature of radiation in the early universe. He is also studying the mathematics of general relativity to create a radiation fluid model in a curved spacetime.
Wyatt Phillips - Wyatt Phillips is a physics major from Tennessee.
Sophie Schmitz - Sophie Schmitz is a physics major from Madison, Wisconsin. She is using a version of GABE with a Dirac-Born-Infeld -like model to investigate a dark matter candidate.
Isaac Tjandra - Isaac is a sophomore physics major from Vancouver, British Columbia. He is studying oscillon and dark matter formation from a self-decaying inflaton field and black holes in numerical relativity.
