  • I organized the development of a certain website.  It got over 150,000 page-views from 172 countries in only the first two months after release as well as significant media attention. Many thoughts were provoked.
  • My trick to get the most out of your toothpaste was linked by lifehacker ... which makes me ... famous?
  • Ringed glint photo became the optics picture of the day here.

  • Photo of a glory over texas (seen in the following places)
  • The photo was first published on Les Cowley's atmosphere optics page here after I submitted it.
  • It was then published in the physics journal of the Roland Eötvös Physical Society of Budpaest, regarding a paper on rainbows.  As it happens, the journal is entirely in Hungarian, you can see my photo on the back cover of the journal below.  Prof. Jozsef Cserti saw my photo on  where the glory phenomenon is explained.
  • Displayed in "the atmosphere exposed" exhibit at the Boyden Gallery, St. Mary's College of Maryland. June 12-September 30, 2010
  • The entire Atmosphere exposed exhibit was on display at the National Science Foundation from January to March 2012. See a photo of the display here.

I've written some Op-Eds poems and Comics for my various school's newspapers, literary journals and websites, I might put a comic up sometime.

Some topics with potential:

  • Creating the most beautiful piece of art using evolutionary methods and the Amazon Mechanical Turk.
  • I drafted a paper based on my work in the AP-Lab. I hope that it will be published eventually
  • I have a creative way of looking at differential calculus- and a pipe dream to publish it.  Don't hold your breath.
