The first (virtual) Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar of the Fall 2020 semester will be this week, and will feature Computer Science major Chris Swindell. In his talk Further Optimization of an Ultracold Neutron Spin Dynamics Simulation Code, Chris will describe the methods he employed to realize a 169 times speedup of a Python program designed to model a quantum mechanical system of importance for tests of basic physical laws. The seminar will be this Friday, September 25th at 4pm. It is geared for undergraduates from any STEM major, but graduate students and faculty are also encouraged to attend! Contact Dr. Holley (aholley@tntech.edu) for connection information to the Zoom session. Visit the seminar webpage to see Chris’ full abstract and the current schedule for upcoming talks.
