Moving forward for this semester!

Hey guys, so last fall Dr. Hassel and I used the codes that he has had at his disposal and developed a new binding energy formula that should be able to accurately predict and determine the binding energy of a various number of elements on dust particles in space. This new formula, which has been previously experimentally determined, hopefully will render a reasonable result when plugged into the Python code that we are using. When we see the results, we see if they are close to the results that we were expecting. Once we have the results that we like, we have decided to pick 4 other elements and a compound (H2, N2, O2, D2 and NH3) to further examine whether our formula will work for all. From here, we will see what happens and what our next steps will be.

The Beginning of it All

Hey guys! This is my new blog about my Senior Advanced Lab project I hope you guys all enjoy it! My project is going to focus on Computational Astrochemistry and dust grain particles! Many more blog posts will be coming so feel free to email me, comment on my blog post, or get in touch with me and ask me about my research!
