<h1>About Luc</h1>
<p>Hi! <br />
<br /></p>
<p>I'm a recent graduate from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with degrees in Physics, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics. Currently, I'm enrolled in the UMass MS Computer Science program as a Bay State Fellow, working on my master's project in the <a href="https://people.cs.umass.edu/~gvardoyan/#home">Vardoyan Lab</a>. During my undergraduate studies, I was involved with the MOLLER and nEXO collaborations in the <a href="https://websites.umass.edu/pocar/?_gl=1%2A7znp8n%2A_gcl_au%2AMTI1MTgwNzQwNS4xNzM0Mzg0NTA2%2A_ga%2AMTgyOTY0MDkzNS4xNzM0Mzg0NTA2%2A_ga_21RLS0L7EB%2AMTczNjI4MjQ4My4zMi4xLjE3MzYyODI1NDIuMC4wLjA.">Pocar Lab</a> and <a href="https://people.umass.edu/kkumar/">Kumar Lab</a>. I also briefly worked on efficiently modeling gaussian quantum systems with the <a href="https://lab.krastanov.org">Krastanov Lab</a>. See my CV above for details on these projects. <br />

<h1>About This Website</h1>
<p>This website is written using Next.JS, and hosted via Vercel. The background is a numerical simulation of the Lorenz system:</p>
<p>$$ \begin{aligned}
\dot{x} &#x26;= \sigma(y - x) \\
\dot{y} &#x26;= x(\rho - z) - y \\
\dot{z} &#x26;= x y - \beta z \\
\end{aligned}
$$</p>
<p>with the typical values of these parameters,
$$\rho =28, \space \sigma=10, \space \beta = \frac{8}{3} $$
For these values, the Lorenz system has chaotic trajectories, around two strange attractors.</p>
<p>The numerical calculations are done using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method, written in Javascript. These trajectories are are rendered using P5.js. The website is otherwise written in React and Next.JS.</p>
