Abstract
In 2021 I started my PhD at the University of Colorado (CU), researching spacecraft-plasma interactions, which involve both vacuum chamber experiments and complex simulations. I happened upon this research topic during my junior year at the University of Texas while pursuing an undergraduate research position. I was fortunate to receive an offer to study spacecraft-plasma simulations. Through this position, I uncovered a strong passion for the research. It was this passion that led me to decide to continue in that area in graduate school, as well as intern at the Kirtland Air Force Base Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) the summer before starting graduate school.
2021年,我在科罗拉多大学(University of Colorado)开始攻读博士学位,研究航天器与等离子体的相互作用,包括真空室实验和复杂的模拟。我在德克萨斯大学大三的时候偶然发现了这个研究课题,当时我正在攻读本科研究职位。我很幸运地获得了研究宇宙飞船等离子体模拟的机会。通过这个职位,我发现了对研究的强烈热情。正是这种激情让我决定在研究生院继续研究这个领域,并在开始研究生院之前的那个夏天在科特兰空军基地空军研究实验室(AFRL)实习。
期刊介绍:
The EI Magazine publishes articles written by authors from industry, research institutes and academia. The articles are more practical in content than the papers published in the Transactions. Usually three articles are published in each issue. The articles deal with dielectric materials, processes and new developments applied to industry products. Also the EI Magazine is used to promote upcoming conferences and solicits papers for the conferences. In addition, reports on past conferences are given in many issues. Book reviews and news items are included. An editorial is written by both the EIC and the President of DEIS in alternate issues. Advertising of insulation products appears in many issues.
