I used trackpy to plot the paths of the snowflakes outside my window.

I'd been looking for a fun place to practice SQL for a while (no offense, Northwind Database) when I saw a meme. The meme had what I'll call a 'Word Triangle', which can be best illustrated with an example: Each edge of the triangle is a word, and each vertex is a word made by… Continue reading Word Triangles – The SQL →

The Ising model was first conceived in its one-dimensional form as a way to explore how phase transitions occur, and if they could even be described with the tools of statistical physics. It became a jumping off point for studying lots of different physical systems, and has led to the development of many new theoretical… Continue reading Eye-sing Model →

Here's a map of all the libraries in New York: Not only Dewey (sorry) see that they are well spaced, but there are even some places like South Brooklyn where they look almost look ordered. I decided to use some physical chemistry techniques to explore how these libraries are distributed throughout the city to highlight… Continue reading Checkout these Libraries →

A large part of my research has involved analyzing spatial information. Usually, this means measuring densities, relative distances, and particle connectivities to make statements about the collective behavior of the particles that I'm simulating. Sometimes these measurements are not the most trivial thing in the world (e.g. the rotational dynamics of clusters that are constantly… Continue reading Running of the bulls →
