I'm currently in my fourth year of university, did two years of "basic" Engineering & Sciences and then two years of my Astronomy major. So that's...four years doing lots of physics and lots and lots of math.
Funny thing, I've only used a telescope like...once...? I've done all of my research on computer/numerical simulations, which is cooler than it sounds! last Summer I worked with a simulation of the surroundings of a black hole - a black hole has a gravitational field so strong it deflects light beams around it, so all of its surroundings look distorted! Relativity and black holes are my favourite things in this field, so I had a lot of fun with it :')
My dream job is to make educational comics on Physics and Astronomy, hahaha :'D
