Hello everyone, this is my Second blog post detailing my internship with Andrei Ruckenstein, AKA Dr. Ruckenstein, a Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at Boston University.
The book I’ve been studying for my internship is called the Physics of Energy, specifically, I’ve been studying chapters 34 and 35.
Reading deeper into this book is a wonderful thing, I’ve had to learn a lot about calculus, chemistry, the biosphere, altitude and many other topics which I never thought could be so complex. Diving deeper into science is essentially what I’ve been assigned to do for my internship, and I’ve learned so much from just researching the topics that are in these 2 chapters. They’re pretty dense, but if/when I need help Dr. Ruckenstein is always contactable. I am currently studying to model the keeling curve in a unique and helpful way to the scientific community, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Other than reading, I’ve had a lot of free time on my hands- this has allowed me to code more, as well as be able to research how to code different physics simulations. I’ve been trying to use this knowledge to generate ideas on how to model it. The coding language I’ve been studying is Ruby, a very fun and complex coding language which allows for fast delivery of results.
Other than coding and researching more on this book, my time has been devoted to studying for the JEE, a notoriously difficult exam. I have been doing this in order to get a better grasp at mechanical physics, but also because learning something new is never a bad thing.
Thanks for reading about this week! Although it wasn’t very action packed, it was still incredibly useful in teaching me a lot of different science principles and such.
Until next week!
