| - | I graduated from [[http://www.goshen.edu|Goshen College]] in 2002 with a double major in Physics and applied Mathematics, and a minor in Computer Science. I am currently a graduate student at the [[http://www.utk.edu|University of Tennessee]] in Knoxville, TN, pursuing a doctoral degree in [[http://astro.phys.utk.edu|Computational Astrophysics]]. My graduate study is supported by research assistantship in the development of educational technologies (past) and development of Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) code for Supernova and Neutron Star merger simulations, which is also my thesis topic. | + | I graduated from [[http://www.goshen.edu|Goshen College]] in 2002 with a double major in Physics and applied Mathematics, and a minor in Computer Science. I am currently a doctoral candidate in [[http://astro.phys.utk.edu|Computational Astrophysics]] at the [[http://www.utk.edu|University of Tennessee]]. My thesis topic is the simulation of Neutron Star Merger using an Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) Magneto-Hydrodynamics code to look for gravitational wave signature and possibility of generating Gamma-Ray Burst from the generation of ultra-strong magnetic field. |
| - | My other activities includes the administration of several [[xhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux|Linux]] servers and a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_(computing)|Beowulf cluster]] running Linux which we use for our research effort, development of web-based applications which you can read in my resume and portfolios, and other small projects that I do for fun. | + | In my spare time, I enjoy playing music, singing, and reading books. Guitar and piano are my primary musical instruments, which I play regularly for accompanying singing during [[http://www.knoxvillemennonite.org|our church]] service. I'm also a computer hobbyist with a heavy inclination in linux and open source software. |
