week 5

All my research to this point has been fairly scattered in terms of the techniques and methods I have been focusing on. This week I took stock of what I have done, presented my findings to my mentor, and decided where to go from here. Going forward I will primarily be working on creating a combination electromagnet and nanoiron particle sensor, as well as studying the resistivity of nanoiron solutions. I'm really looking forward to the sensor project, as it shows promise and will consist of some pretty neat engineering.

However, that will have to wait for now, as I need to prepare my midterm presentation. I'm not really looking to it, but I'll get it done.
