Air Flow – Euler EquationPretty simple PDEModels the
pressure on an airplane wing (or whatever) while in motion
Has been improved for efficiency (Navier-Stokes)

On To High Energy PhysicsFermi National Accelerator LaboratoryParticle PhysicsAcceleratorsDetectorsQuarks, Protons, Neutrinos, etc.My tenure there coincided with the
exponential growth of high-speed desktop computing
We all had many duties, my specialty was graphical interfaces

Large Particle DetectorBasically a cylinder consisting of hundreds of thousands of Components. The particle beam runs through the middle.The proton & anti-proton collide at the speed of light, andBreak apart in predictable fashion.

Neutrinos - MiniBooNENeutrinos are
basically massless particles
They can be generated by a beam or the sun
The color and size of the ball, and the shape of the distribution, tell the physicist what’s going on.

My jobWrite/improve/maintain/port Graphical
User Interfaces (GUI’s)Work with the physicists to find out what
is useful/notKeep up with computing technology to
make them as useful and cost-effective as possible (programs migrated from SGI to SunOS to Linux/PC over the years)
