I’m not much of a coder (outside of numerical work), but I know enough to get things done when I need to. Here are a few things I’ve put together.
As an undergraduate, I worked for two years in a high-intensity optics group. We were studying high-harmonic generation by femtosecond laser pulses passing through a dilute inert gas. These pulses have energies of millijoules and peak intensities of 1015 watts/cm2 (a comparable intensity could be achieved by focusing all of the sunlight hitting … Continue … Continue reading High-intensity laser pulse simulation
I developed a track meet registration system for a Seattle-area middle-school league. League administrators can authorize coach access, create meet event listings, and print athlete tags. Coaches can create team rosters and register athletes for their events. It runs on Google App Engine. If someone’s interested in using it, I can make the code available.
