Last Day

Today, was the final day of my internship. This was a great opportunity and I had my final presentation today.The presentations started once family members, faculty and staff, and other professors arrived and I was fourth to present. I gave my presentation and afterwards was relived that it was over. Also, congressman Joe Morelle made an appearance, which was exciting. We all got to meet with him and talk to him about the internship. Afterwards he gave a small speech and we took some pictures. Later we were all presented with our certificates of achievement. The internship was a unique and rewarding experience that will help me in the future.

Day 29

Today, I meet with Dr. Hornak and other undergraduate students to discuss aspects of the paper that was going to be published based on the results we obtained. We were able to successfully identify individual pigments in a paint mixture using the LFEPR instrumentation and our fitting algorithm. We created an outline and discussed the individual components of the paper. I also made some finishing touches to my presentation and presented to Dr. Hornak once more for some final suggestions. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to present my work to faculty and friends tomorrow.

Day 25

Today, I worked on my presentation for the most part. I did some work with the fitting algorithm as well. I started to formula my outline into a presentation. I found various images and received some from Dr.Hornack as well. I revised some the work I conducted over the last few weeks and tried to figure out the best way to explain some of the instruments and concepts that I used to work on my experiment.

Day 24

Today, I added some finishing touches to the chart I was creating for the results. I also organized all of the data so that later on they would be more easily accessible. I started reading up on some academic journals as well. Dr. Hornack informed me that I need to start looking for some journals related to MRI and keep a list. So I began forming a list of some related journals.
