Matthew Turk's Homepage - About Me

(...and what is there to say about me?)

Well, let's start out with my professional interests. I'm a graduate student at Stanford, and I graduated from Northwestern University (which, despite their protestations to the contrary, will always be nwu.edu to me!) in 2003. I started out my graduate studies at Penn State, and then transferred to Stanford in the fall of 2004. I'm a grad student in Astrophysics (I majored in Physics and Math in undergrad, working on a senior thesis on the interstellar medium) working on simulations of the first stars and other early-universe objects.

I am a bit of a geek. I like hacking around, writing an analysis toolkit as well as playing with Python for other fun stuff. I keep most of my bookmarks on del.icio.us, where I am user mturk.

Anyway, I think that's about it. Feel free to drop me a line via email.
