What i'm up to:
I graduated from college! Now I've got about two months (ish) before I move to Blacksburg, VA. I'm gonna spend a little more time in Williamsburg after Memorial day and finish moving out by the end of june.
Life news:
I earned my Bachelors of Science magna cum laude, majoring in chemistry with departmental honors as well. I also won my chemistry department's award for outstanding service, which was nice!
I've committed to Virginia Tech for a PhD in chemistry! I'm very excited knowing i've got something to look forward to, and also just excited in general knowing i'm not gonna be a NEET at home for the foreseeable future.
After ~2 years of R&D, my honors thesis project has mostly concluded! Now i'm working on finishing up my research and getting it ready for publication.
Cool projects I'm working on:
- A detailed optical comparison and analysis between two night vision relay lens systems.
- Setting up guiding for my astrophotography setup
- Building and repairing more night vision devices
