Quick Update on My Whereabouts I started my Physics Ph.D. program at Stanford this summer. I am researching accelerator physics at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. During Thanksgiving week, I was in Sicily to attend the ERICE Particle Accelerator School. Thoughts on Scientific Progress It is difficult to predict, especially the future. As trained scientists, we are naturally inclined to be skeptical of progress. There is an old saying: If an old and renowned scientist says something is possible in the near future, it almost certainly is, but if they say something is impossible, it almost certainly isn't. At this conference, some technologies seemed to be a matter of time before they are realized. HTS magnets for FCC and plasma wakefield acceleration come to mind. Others, usually involving complex, chaotic systems, seemed nigh impossible. Good examples of these would be fusion and scalable quantum computing. More Thoughts on Breakthroughs I confess, I truly believe...
Welcome to my workshop! Here you can explore through various projects of mine. That is, as long as I don't forget to upload them:P. All comments will be appreciated! In fact, they are sent directly into my mailbox, so don't hesitate to comment!
