1.) Where are you doing your mentorship?
- I currently do not have a mentor, and I have been very active in emailing and finding prospective ones. However, I have done 29 hours of mentorship at Caltech's Cahill Building for Astrophysics earlier this semester.
2.) Who is your contact?
- My mentor when I had one was Dr. Bela Szilagyi, a Caltech researcher who studies gravitational waves and simulates black hole collisions.
3.) How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
- In total, I have done 29 hours and 20 minutes of mentorship this semester. They were all in September and October. (My mentorship log is up-to-date)
4.) Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
- I continued my work when I was there in the summer, which was creating simulations of binary black holes. I basically had to change the variables in the algorithm so that the computer cluster would compile the data and give us a simulation. This semester I had done 2 such simulations (2 only because they take very long to render). I was also working on editing the website for the cluster wiki. I also used Paraview to use the data compiled by the cluster to create some kind of animations that illustrate the collisions.
