Split infinitives and nerdy connotations aside, "to boldy go where no [person] has gone before" has always been an underlying goal of mine. Luckily, I've had the opportunity to participate in a number of rather avant-garde research endeavors -- each attempting to prove or create something new.

The subsections below give brief explanations of the motivation behind, methods of, and results given by these different projects. As always, feel free to contact me for further details or clarification!
