I am currently conducting research into the probability of producing a positive-definite random GOE matrix when the entries of the matrix are subject to a localization constraint. This probability has applications in cosmology and has deep implications on the natire and origin of our universe.

In the Summer of 2015 I had the good fortune to attend a boot camp hosted by Exosphere where we worked on developing Space Elevator technologies and infrastructures. During our three week stay in a beautiful castle in Bercel, Hungary we worked with Michael Laine, founder of the LiftPort Group to answer a few questions about their plans for a Lunar Elevator. I worked with my partner to answer a question about disaster mitigation in the event of a tether severance scenario. We worked with a open source program developed by NASA called the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) to do the numerical calculations to come up with the optimal teather length to avoid a collision scenario between the counter-weight and Earth orbiting sattelites. Also Earth, of course. Here is our (unfinished) paper on our research. Our work is also available on OSF and our codes available on GitHub.
