About

We explore how a baseline fully connected neural network, a long short-term memory neural network, reservoir computing, and a Lagrangian neural network compare on the task of forecasting chaotic motion, namely the prediction of the path of a double pendulum.

Wood Holds and Hangboards

* Special thanks to Hardy and the Pomona College machine shop for help on these ones Hangboards A pretty nifty tool to have outside is a warm up board that you can pull on and get your fingers good to go. You can hang them from a tree and do some rudimentary hangs, or brace…

2021-2022 Random Assortment

Here are some random electronics projects from 2021 – 2022. For Thermodynamics/Statistical Mechanics: A Rudimentary Sous Vide A Sous Vide is a type of cooking apparatus that holds a bath of water at a specific temperature. You place the food you want cooked in this water-bath, and it eventually comes to thermal equilibrium with the…

Elm City Stories

Introduction and Motivations Elm City Stories is an interactive video game developed by researchers at the play2PREVENT lab. It attempts to reduce risk of substance use and educate players (11-14 year olds) on sexual health. Players create an avatar and play through various mini-games that seek to model real-life situations and involve issues such as…

About

*This project was done with Dylan, Guy, and Taylor for UCLA Datafest 2022. We use general statistical methods and neural networks to investigate the trends between player engagement in the Elm City Stories game and their general improvement on a drug and sexual health questionnaire. We conclude that players who spend more time in the…

PeNNdulum

A Comparison of Neural Networks on the Double Pendulum System (GITHUB) *This project was done for CS152 with Ziang, Guy, and Nathan Link to website detailing full project report: PeNNdulum Lagrangian neural networks (LNN) output the Lagrangian for a system in motion. The Lagrangian characterizes the total energy in the system, and is a useful…

About

I am creating a guidebook for a set of nice granite boulders sitting on the Mount Baldy hillsides that are around 20 minutes from the Claremont College. Currently, I have documented over 100 boulder problems, with directions, pictures, and video beta included for a good hunk of them. The guidebook can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X872VAX5ORIFtau0HsmZx5Gbz8WTcANd/view?usp=sharing

The Mount Baldy Bouldering Guidebook

Link to the book Introductions At the end of the day, outdoor bouldering is a fairly contrived sport. Some person finds some rock sitting somewhere, decides its climbable, picks some holds to start on, cleans it up, and climbs to the top. They slap some subjective personal difficulty rating on there and call it a…
