Hey everyone!

I’m going to keep this short because I unfortunately have a broken hand! Other than the broken hand (and that terrible football game yesterday however, this has been a great start to my senior year!

My classes are all going to be really interesting. I’m taking linear controls, computational solutions to engineering problems (basically linear algebra with Matlab), senior design, materials science, and I’m using my research for core elective credit. My senior design group includes 2 of my roommates, so I’m pretty excited about that, and we selected our project to be a shockwave project (so I get to spend even more time in my lab!) where we are using LEDs as pressure transducers in underwater shock applications.

I’m going to sign off here, but I’ll be sure to include more when I can type with 2 hands!
