System Administrator for Matt Choptuik:

I am currently helping with the administration of the VN Cluster and a few of Matt's machines. Here is a table showing how and when the backups are performed for Matt's machines.

Weekly schedule of Scott's commitments for the Spring Semester of 2004.

Paper #1 [PDF]: Critical Phenomena in Velocity-Induced Perfect Fluid Collapse.
Paper #2: Critical Phenomena of Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff Solutions.
SCV Talk, Feb. 11, 2003:[PS , PDF , LaTeX]: this is a talk I gave recently for a SCV Seminar.
April 2003 APS Talk, April 9, 2003:[PS , PDF , LaTeX]: this is a talk I gave recently for the April APS Meeting.
Grad. Student Theory Lunch Meeting Talk, June 10, 2003:[PS , PDF , LaTeX].
Current:
- Collapse of Relativistic Fluids : Simulating the collapse of perturbed TOV stars and relativistic flows. Advised by Prof. Choptuik, and greatly aided by David Neilsen
Past:
- Simulating Bose-Einstein Condensation:
  I simulated self-attracting Bose-Einstein condensates by numerically solving the nonlinear Schrodinger equation that describes the condensate. This work was under the advisement of Prof. Choptuik.
- Approximate Black Holes: This work was with fellow UT grad student Scott Caveny. We were trying to find unstable modes in the first order perturbations to M.H.P van Putten's static equations for an "Approximate black hole with a cosmological constant." This work was under the advisement of Prof. Choptuik.
I have also accomplished research in nuclear physics, high-energy physics and quantum computation. Further information regarding my past and present research activities may be posted here at a future date.
Meanwhile, my Curriculum Vitae is available for browsing.
