<p>What topic would you like to conduct research on? And you would get it checked by whom?</p>
<p>I guess Universities like students who conduct research :)</p>
<p>It'd be awesome if I could do something involving probability or graph theory, but I don't think professors like high school theoreticians that much, so I've just been doing some modeling for an experimental lab group. Which sorta involves probability because it's on genetics, but it's a lot easier for a high school kid to do since computer simulation is a lot less theoretical than normal math. (And it's pretty cool stuff, especially when it works.)</p>
<p>I guess I get my work checked by my advisor? And of course I do some preliminary checks before showing him, like I make sure the frequency of each gene is less than 1 and things like that. And there are some nice people in my lab who I sometimes talk to about this stuff.</p>
<p>What kind of research are you into?</p>
<p>lol! I am not into biology not even a bit, I prefer physics, I was currently working on Fluid Dynamics in a Jet Engine and stuff, I kinda dont have anyone here to talk about this stuff and forget about someone checking it, I guess I will have to mail my stuff some professor overseas.</p>
<p>anyone else into research?</p>
<p>Quantum computation/experimental molecular physics. Simulation (and hopefully, partial experimentation) of interesting quantum algorithm on quantum networks.</p>
<p>PS. If only I had more time.. School sucks :( Research rulez.</p>
<p>how do you guys go about deciding a topic for reasearch? and how do you g about researching it?</p>
<p>Nuclear physics. It really depends on what interests you, because theres always a great deal of information about any subject. I just happen to find physics extremely interesting because you can apply it to everyday life and its always around yet people don't even think about that.</p>
<p>I was wondering how are you gonna tell the universities about your research? Do you send in your research material too?</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore in college, but my research is in nonlinear waves, stability theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations. Essentially, the question is whether a wave solution to a given nonlinear partial differential equation will be "robust", in some sense, under perturbations. My advisor's page is at <a href="http://www.amath.washington.edu/%7Ebernard%5B/url%5D">www.amath.washington.edu/~bernard</a>.</p>
<p>over the past few years i've done stuff mainly in physics and engineering. i have some interests in applied math too</p>
