Paul Gradney - Detection and Categorization of Low Freqency Sound Waves (Infrasound)
           

I worked for Professor Olson. This topic allowed me to study the characteristic s of sound in the atmosphere and create a simulation of sound propagation using Matlab. I also used the microphone arrays situated at UAF to catalog the types of signals that were received in the area.

 
Paul Gradney - The Interactions of Two Coupled Complex Systems
 
I worked for Professor Newman. During my two years of research I ran simulations of two coupled complex systems that modeled the interactions of communication systems coupled to power grids. From these simulations, my aim was to show that the systems behaved with Self Organizing Criticality characteristics. This was done by extreacting statistical informatino about the systems and slightly altering each simulation to approach a specific statistical aim.
