This past week I attended an engineering event at ASU Tempe. The event was intended for engineering students to give them an idea of what it's like to be an ASU student. During the event they gave a tour of the campus that concluded with a visit to the health and fitness center where they hosted and EPICS event. In this event, students currently in the EPICS program, intended for research, at ASU were giving out presentations about their current research projects. There was a wealth of different projects that ranged from material science to the neurons in the brain. I decided to attend this event because since I am still looking for a research project to work on, I thought that by attending I would be able to gather some ideas for a potential project. Coming out of the event, I was able to brainstorm some ideas, one of them was creating a model for the way people walk. How this could be important is that we all think that we walk straight, however, most of us walk in certain motions that actually apply more force to the hips that little by little hurts us. I think that working on a project like this would be really cool.

S-STEM Introduction and Project

Hello, my name is Ricardo. As one of the S-STEM Scholar students, I am very happy to be a part of this group. I am currently searching for opportunities as to what to do a research project on with an emphasis in applied mathematics. I have spoken with one of the professors at Glendale Community College in order to assist me with brainstorming ideas for this project. We talked about several areas where mathematics can be applied to, such as computing and number theory. I happen to find these two fields of particular interest. I've always been fascinating with what computers can do, and I think that it would be cool to learn about the mathematics that goes behind the programming to make them work. As far as number theory goes, I find it really cool! Even though at this moment I don't know much about it, nonetheless, I find it really interesting and wouldn't mind doing research to learn more about it. Actually, this is one of the reasons why math is my favorite subject. Wh...

Hello everyone, these past two weeks I have been working on creating a MATLAB code to be able to place a marker or tracker on the fluid particles. With this tracker I hope to be able to follow its trajectory. If I can get my tracker code to work, then I should be able to implement this and track all of the particles in my simulation.

Hello everyone. This past Friday I attended the ASU open house mixer at ASU west. It was a really neat experience as I got to meet some of the ASU professors as well as some of the STRAIN scholars from other community colleges. I was able to meet Dr. Feng Wang, the professor in charge of the research project that deals with twitter and the trends that using such social media has on people's daily lives. She told how in the past she has worked with applied math majors along with computer science majors towards carrying out her projects. She told me to contact her, which I did, and we have arranged a time to meet and further discuss the possibility of me collaborating with her. I'm really looking forward to working with her, I think that it will be a good experience.
