[edit] My current research
I have recently was told the happy news that I will be receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I completed my Major Qualifying Project a few weeks ago; a search for sand dune movement on Mars. I hope to turn it into an article at some point (see User:Runningonbrains/Aeolian processes on Mars if you'd like to help.
My main interest, however, is in meteorology, and I do a lot of independent research on the topic. I hope to attend graduate school for the subject next year, and eventually make a career out of research/modeling in mesoscale and microscale meteorology.
My contributions will mainly be towards meteorology articles (especially tornadoes and other mesoscale phenomena), Mars, and related subjects.

So, about me, huh?
As I said, I am a physics major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, currently in my senior year. I hope to go to grad school for meteorology when (if?) I graduate. I've been obsessed with nature, especially meteorology, since I was very young. My first storm experience was in utero, when my mom was in the eye of Hurricane Gloria. At 10 a tornado skipped over my house, downing several trees in my back yard. Among my craziest experiences were sitting outside with a -40ºF wind chill to watch blowing snow, climbing a mountain during a Nor'easter with 60 mph winds at the top, and getting caught in a hailstorm which formed right on top of me.
Hopefully, someday, I'll get to sit through a good hurricane.
