David Roundy's Home Page
Hello everyone! I am David Roundy. I grew up in the city of Orange.
My dad is a Chemistry professor at Orange Coast College, and my mom used
to teach Physics at Cal
State Fullerton, but now she teaches at Fullerton College.
I went to El Modena High School. While I was in high school I met the
group of friends that have been my friends ever since. We were (and are)
the
Strategy Games Club.
I graduated May of '95 from U.C. Berkeley,
where I majored in Physics
and Chemistry (although
I greatly prefer Physics). I started working in
Dr.
Khakoo's lab, at Cal State Fullerton, the summer of '92, programming
data analysis and a program for a plotter. Since then I have worked with
him every summer, doing progressively more difficult projects. First, I
wrote a Monte Carlo program to analyze the effects of plural and multiple
scattering, in Mott Polarimeters. Since then I have worked on the theory
side of the gas beam profile experiment which Felix has been doing. Click
here to see some illustrations of Felix and I
with the gas beam apparatus (and some Xenon).
I am now back at Cal as a graduate
student in Physics. I am now
working with Marvin Cohen, doing solid state theory. You can now visit my
physics web page.
I don't do physics all the time. I also play classical guitar
and harmonica, and have enjoyed singing in choirs at church, although currently
I do not have time for choir. I started composing music during my last
year of college, and that has been a lot of fun. On my music
page, I have all sorts of stuff that I have composed. You probably have
just heard one of my compositions. I also crochet,
although there isn't a whole bunch on my crocheting page. I also enjoy
sewing and carving. In fact, I enjoy making just about anything.
