SURFing in 2006

With two more bits of positive news today, all five of my prospective SURF students have now officially gotten their projects accepted. You gotta' love the inflitration of research at Caltech through undergraduate student advising... :)

Anyway, here are this summer's projects:

Kris Kazlowski: Periodic Orbits in Generalized Mushroom Billiards

Tom Mainiero: Quantization of a Free Particle Interacting Linearly with a Harmonic Oscillator

Austin Webb: A Computational Study of the Quantization of Billiards with Mixed Dynamics

Tatjana Wiese: Faraday Pattern Formation in Bose-Einstein Condensates

Yan Zhang: Community Finding in the Legislation Cosponsorship Network of the Members of Congress
