 Beyond aEUR~Opposites AttractaEUR(TM): Building 
 Understanding Through Gamifying Magnetic Fields\n
 Despite being commonplace objects and tools, magnets 
 can be difficult to understand, especially for 
 those entering higher level physics. In this talk, 
 I will discuss my efforts to develop an interactive 
 method for building a stronger understanding of 
 magnetic properties. This presentation will follow 
 my journey into understanding and performing the 
 creation of stable magnetic traps. I will then 
 demonstrate how I used this to develop a game 
 as an engaging method for others to build a stronger 
 understanding of magnetic interactions.\n

 Image Transmission Through a Multimode Fiber Cable\n
 Multimode optical fiber cables offer the potential 
 for quick and convenient optical transport of 
 images which has significant applications in neuro-imaging 
 and communication. Decoding the speckle pattern 
 image output from these cables efficiently is 
 an outstanding challenge. In this project, we 
 explore methods involving the use of neural networks.

 Calming the Billow Cloud: the Diocotron Instability 
 in Electron Plasmas\n
 Instabilities in continuous media are important 
 to study for practical applications, and instabilities 
 in fusion plasmas cause loss of energy and fuel, 
 increasing the cost. In my talk, I will explore 
 the Kelvin-Helmholtz (diocotron) instability in 
 a non-neutral plasma, as an effort towards a fundamental 
 understanding of plasma instabilities. I will 
 present the theory framework for this problem, 
 which is beneficial for audience interested in 
 plasma physics, continuum mechanics and problem-solving 
 in physics.\n\n
