1.) Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you
found your mentorship? If you haven't found one yet, describe your
experience so far in the search of a mentor.
- The way I first contacted my mentor was in the beginning of summer. I wanted to study physics, so I decided to look at Caltech professors (since Caltech was world renowned for its emphasis on physics). I then looked at the list of professors and found Dr. Bela Szilagyi. He studied Black Hole Collisions and Numerical Relativity, the former being a great interest of mine. So I emailed him, and he called me after. After I explained what I wanted to do, it was OK to come to Caltech everyday during the summer.
2.) Research question: What has been your most important
article you have read so far and why?
- The most important article I have read so far has been the Giancoli Physics Textbook. This is because of the way it simplifies complex physics phenomenon such as black holes. It is very easy to use yet still very powerful. Mrs. Pittman recommended it to me for use, and I have been happy so far.
