Undergraduate students
  Matthew Morton
Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
I am working on developing a parametrized Lorentz-Einstein-Galileo trasformation where a single parameter, tuned from null to unity produces the two limiting results: the Lorentz-Einstein transformation and the Galilean Transformation. I play soccer, basketball, bassoon, and am co-founder of the Happiness Club on campus.
