My area of interest is generally in Computational Chemical Engineering. I could see myself being pretty happy in a lab/cubicle farm with matlab/fortran/python/whatever I'd need as my main tool of reasearch. In terms of the focus of the simulation or computational work that's less important... I'm open to learning new things and trying to figure out how to best represent them in the computer world and what new algorithms to use. I would be a computer scientist but I like the theory, application, and impact of chemical engineering far more. I also have a twin brother who got accepted to wisconsin as well but I don't think he's on this forum... So I guess I'll be easy to spot at the visiting weekend. I'll be the one with a duplicate of himself.
