Hey everyone! My name is Vikesh Goradia and I am a second year undergraduate student at the University of California Santa Barbara, as a B.S Physics Major.
I have had an affinity for Physics for a long time now, and I wanted a place I can vomit ideas, thoughts and research, so here I am. Fun fact about me: I have created many websites in the past but, hopefully, this is my final one (with version updates of course). My favourite topics of research and reading in Physics are:
(As of 25th October, 2024):
- Astrophysics and Astronomy
- Pictures of stars, galaxies, etc.
- I want to get into astrophotography and take really cool pictures of the universe. All in all, really exploit the beautiful weather and clear skies here in Santa Barbara.
- Particle Physics
- Even though I don’t know the nuances of the immense field of Particle Physics, I am actively looking for research opportunities to not only build my coding skills, but also meet interesting people!
- Particle Physics combined with High Energy Physics is a really fun field because I desperately want to understand how particle accelerators work.
- Rocket Science!
- BPS Space is such a cool channel. I’m awed by how he has built so many rockets doing every part of each rocket himself.
- And everything else! I have been getting into electronics as well recently, although I know little about that field right now.
Fun fact: UC Santa Barbara actually has a live particle accelerator on campus! Visiting it was absolutely awesome.
My goal with this website is to dump all interesting facts and research I find here, along with topics I come about in college. There is no particular upload schedule. The upload schedule is dependent on me finding interesting topics, lol.
If you have any comments about my blog, or have noticed an error, always hit me up through my email: “vikeshgoradia@gmail.com“. Don’t forget to leave comments on each post saying what you enjoyed reading, and what you might want an improvement on! I’m always all ears to constructive criticism 👀
