Intro Post

Hi Everyone my name is Ian I’m a sophomore software engineering student. I watched a lot of cosmos when I was younger. I’ve also done some amateur stargazing. I hope to eventually be involved with the developing field of machine learning, particularly creative based algorithms. In the past, I’ve made an algorithm that generates short stories, albeit poorly. One of my greatest interests is in creative writing, fiction in particular. I hope that this class will allow me to implement some astronomical theories into my writing as well as give me a better idea of my place in the universe. As for things in astronomy that I find interesting I would have to lean towards black holes, wormholes, and whiteholes. I also find places like the pillars of creation to be quite intriguing.
