Physics and Astronomy

Measure shear-band width in granular jamming with video PIV, then test how fill height changes flow against nonlocal granular-fluidity theory.

Model and test how maze walls change swarm motion, while you build simulation, image analysis, and collective behavior skills.

Analyze public decay datasets with wavelets, test for annual modulation, and set an upper limit on solar-neutrino-linked changes in beta decay.

Build a low-cost gravimeter, track Earth tides, and compare your readings with public prediction data while learning calibration and signal averaging.

Map how surfactant concentration changes droplet drying patterns, and build phone-based imaging skills for phase diagrams, flow, and data analysis.

Measure the Kaye effect with high-speed video and CFD, then model the critical rebound height from shear-thinning flow data.

Build a machine learning pipeline to spot weak gravitational-wave coincidences, test injections, and estimate false-alarm rates with GWOSC data.

Measure how ratchet shape and temperature change droplet self-propulsion, then compare your data with vapor-layer lubrication theory and videos.

Use Gaia, TESS, and Kepler data to test gyrochronology, compare coeval binary stars, and build a cleaner age-rotation relation.

Build a phone-based cosmic ray network, compare event spikes with GOES solar flare data, and learn correlation analysis plus signal filtering.
