Steven Malone
Hello PF!
My name is Steven Malone. I am a current undergraduate at the University of North Florida. I returned to college at the age of 30 to finish a BS in Astrophysics and work towards a Masters or PhD in the future. My interests are in the space industry and improving public interest in the areas of exploration and development of space, astrophysics, and astronomy. I volunteer with #popscope, a national social-based astronomy outreach organization focused on sharing knowledge by setting up telescopes in densely populated cities. I recently have found an interest in public speaking on topics of astronomy and astrophysics in venues such as breweries and coffee shops. I plan on expanding this concept nationally and work towards building another social-based organization like #popscope.
I look forward to having PF as a resource for expanding my academic knowledge as well as futhering my practical understanding of physics. Also, I am doing undergraduate research in finding improved gamma-ray scintillation materials as a parallel effort in researching origins of cosmic rays. Other areas of research I am interesting is in ultra-high-energy and extreme-energy cosmic rays (UHECR and EECR) as they are theorized to be from relatively near sources due to the loss in energy through scattering. If anyone has interest in these areas, please message me.
Thanks,
SM
