As my Senior Project is coming to a close, I'd like to direct you to two places where you can learn more about my project. The first is a page I've set up on this blog, which has details about my project in a readable format. The other is a section on my personal website, which has more details about my project plus some of the data I have been able to collect with my mentor. Please keep in mind that both places are not completely finished, just as my project itself isn't. As I am getting more time I am compiling everything, and I will add more information to both places in the coming days.
