MY PH.D. THESIS

My Ph.D. Thesis

I spent almost 5 years getting my Ph.D. at Stanford. A major part of my thesis was building a large water channel to run flow experiments. I recently passed by the lab and saw that a few pieces of my work were still in use, and in fact, until quite recently, the whole channel was still intact. Not bad for something I built 20 years ago.

Vortex Train

Back then, movies were shot on 16 mm film and data was stored on 8" floppies. I may very well have been the first student in the M.E. department to write and print my thesis using a computer.
