In high school, intensely intrigued by the mechanisms and experiments in physics, I regularly took part in the State Science Exhibitions demonstrating models from the solar oven to spring-mass systems. My passion for Physics and Mathematics spurred me to win awards at State Level Competitions. It further led me to choose a major in Science during Secondary School and my undergraduate major in Engineering Physics at the NIT Calicut. My duly qualified academic performance enabled me to receive the Post-Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Caste Students for the full duration of the program (2010-14). The methodical approach I towards learning helped me to graduate with a degree in first class.
At NITC, the curriculum grounded my knowledge in both theoretical and experimental aspects of physics. Among the courses I credited, my penchant for Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics stimulated me to conduct a literature survey on the Tripropellant Rocket Propulsion System. Attending the Aerodynamics course aided me to gain a grasp of the fluid mechanics and honed my computational skills in Matlab simulation. In my junior year, participation in a seminar on the topic “Future of wind and solar powers in India” augment my perception of renewable energies. I delivered a presentation on the possibility of transforming the energy

It will also served as the right platform to nurture my long-term aspiration of becoming a well-established expert in the field. Moreover, it will facilitate gaining practical insights into current challenges in improving the applications of thermos-fluid systems through modeling and experimental approaches. So, I am eager to a part of the group at the Advanced Research in Thermo fluid Systems (ARTS)
I began teaching as a graduate teaching assistant and project assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a teaching assistant, I conducted labs, discussion sessions, and some honor sessions for introductory physics courses in electromagnetism, thermal dynamics, optics, and modern physics. As a project assistant, my responsibilities included grading homework, discussing it with students, and prepare some homework solutions in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and an introductory physics course. In teaching physics, my main goal is to have my students actively thinking like physicists. I believe that the ability to think like a physicist is valuable to everyone, whether physics graduates, physics majors or non-physics majors.
The South Carolina Governor's School for Science and Mathematics is an incredible opportunity for aspiring students like myself. I believe that I could thrive and contribute to this unique environment. I will have to make some sacrifices by attending SC GSSM, but the potential rewards far outway the necessary consequences. Attending this school would be worthwhile for an enthusiastic student like myself. Being able to enroll in SC GSSM’s student body would be a dream come true.
When I was a kid, I never wore shoes during the summer. There was something always so serene about touching barefoot to dirt; it was splendid. Since maturing into my now adult self, I realized that running through the woods with my feet unprotected is probably not the best idea for a variety of reasons, however the image of my child-self running through the woods behind my home in Southwestern Pennsylvania elucidates a significant point here: I love planet Earth. In an incredibly geeky manner, I am truly passionate about the environment and finding sustainable solutions to ensure that generations to come can share the same experiences I had as a child growing up, running through the woods during a warm summer day.
Why QCSYS? It is a program where one can learn new skills and develop lifelong friendships, all the while living in a university environment. With my expertise in both academic and social settings, it is without a doubt that I am a excellent choice as a candidate for QCSYS.
I have chosen to pursue an education in Mechanical Engineering. My high school classes, visits to colleges, and research of different majors have led me to choose this field. Ever since taking AP Physics 1 in my junior year of High School, I have realized how much I enjoy problem solving through the use of many different aspects of physics. This interest has continued into my senior year, as I have chosen to take AP Physics 2. It is one of my favorite classes regardless of the coursework.
I should be considered by the Galactic Unite Bytheway STEM Scholarship program for not only my lifelong passion for math and science, but also my dedication to challenge myself, diverse interests, and career goals.
Deanna Smith, a current Physics undergraduate student at UAH, opened her talk with her favorite quote, "Reach for the moon, even if you fall, you'll land among the stars." Her talk focused on her journey as a physics student. Deanna Smith provided useful advice for all physics students, starting with "Enjoy the fact that you are a Physics student." Physics students have many unique opportunities available to them just because they are physics students. For example, because she was a Physics student, she was able to participate in the Space Hardware Club and Cube Sats and the Joint Space Weather Summer Camp. The Joint Space Weather Summer Camp allowed her to travel to Germany to work the on sensors that would detect changes in the sun's ionosphere.
The gears in my mind began to turn. This fun-filled moment with my classmates sparked my curiosity into the realm of physics. That unforgettable autumn day was the catalyst for my fascination of the laws of
Understanding that challenge is necessary to expand skills, I took Advanced Placement Physics as a junior in high school. Determined to excel I pored over books, sought assistance from teachers, and diligently applied myself. I was certain that an A grade was imminent. I was working hard, alas an A grade eluded me. Ironically physics, a subject I actual enjoy, was teaching me a hard lesson, sometimes, no matter how hard you work, success does not come on the first try.
Our thermos was quite effective in insulating hot water, as the graph was very flat. This indicates that as time passed, the temperature of the hot water dropped very little, resembling an exponential decay graph. Trial one and trial two presented very similar results and a constant rate of change, which further reinforces the effectiveness of the thermos. The second trial basically presented identical data to the first trial, which can be seen on the graph as the two lines are merged together. The lumps in the graph for the control were resulted from the accidental moving of the temperature probe or the occasionally currents of air flowing across the cup,
Upon my visit at Texas A&M University at College Station I was intrigued by the unique traditions of the university. The campus itself was not like other big city campuses, it had its own zing. It is an open minded place and I aspire my mind to be opened to what is out there. College station is with today’s movements and they are moving forward. The school’s atmosphere is friendly and inviting, it is definitely somewhere I'd like to be. Accordingly, on the hand of my education, the engineering program is wonderful. I had met one of the professors while on my trip, she was an exceptional unique professor and within the two hours I was with her I had learned about physics in a way I would never forget. In the classroom I know I will do great
In the present, science has grown to become a great role in our lives. From gravity to cloning, we can attribute many ordinary things in life that we know and understand now to science. Physicists are the ones who study the structure of matter, space and time. An example of a physicist would be Einstein or Newton. This paper will discuss the education necessary to become a physicist, the skills that physicists need, the earnings and the benefits/risks of the job, and my qualifications.
Go to school and follow the rules, get an education and play it safe, get a job and do as you’re told, earn money and live a life...this routine is what society values. However, this is terrible advice for an ambitious person. Unlike many, I want to create a memorable and contributive existence that will impact communities all around. I want to leave a footprint with first doing research in college, and then applying my knowledge to advance technology for the benefit of society. In order to accomplish my goal, getting a quality education is essential. At a young age, my parents have instilled in me the significance of learning, a love for science, and the importance of risk-taking. Now, I strive to transfer to an institution with a well-developed physics program where I will be able to gain a sophisticated understanding of physics conventions, as well as how to apply them.
Exploration and analysis have been the essence of my life, guiding me through the most mystifying predicaments. In this ever changing world of engineering & technology where each new day sees a spate of new concepts and applications and each passing day makes them obsolete, I always wanted to attain the highest level of excellence in education and transcend new horizons in the chosen field.
Nuclear engineering, although highly controversial, is a very safe and reliable source of technology that will improve our lives. I am very enthusiastic to be starting college soon and taking the next step towards my chosen career. I have learned the fundamentals of math and science, and now I want to further my education. Within time I will be given the opportunity to apply
