August's Recommended Post: Out of 254,988 Plasmas, Hopefully One Thesis
The materials contained in this group are either posters that I presented at conferences, or publications from physics journals. Bear in mind that the posters are typically written with the intention of presenting them to an audience. As such, the poster by itself does not always provide a self-contained and complete description of its subject matter. This does not mean they are useless, just that they probably don't provide enough information for your inquiry.

Initial Observations from Electron Heat Transport Studies in the LAPD
An informal talk describing three months of work on electron heat transport. This was the first presentation I made with Keynote, and I took advantage of the "build in" features. This means that the pdf of the talk has some duplicate slides. These exist because in the talk they fade in from within one slide.

This paper presents results on electron temperature oscillations that arise spontaneously in a narrow temperature filament. The experiment is performed in the LAPD Laboratory and serves as part of my thesis work.
