Things at work

Anyway, I thought that I should put an update about the stuff that I have been doing at work.

I wrote a somewhat long, mathematical post on the issue of recovering an unknown function given some information about it:   http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/blog/53857

I also looked into the simulated annealing algorithm, a method that my lab currently uses, and wrote about it as well:   http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/blog/53958

(I think that I will put the more math related posts on my art of problem solving blog).

I have been reading a lot of papers about the "Needle Optimization Technique," a method that is specifically designed for designing multilayer mirrors.

I am preparing a presentation on the work that I did on the Kramers-Kronig relations.
