This page features my work of the past four years. Most of it has been derived by collating related entries from my developments page. Initially I organized topics into three categories: crystal growth, visualization, and numerics. I didn't like it. Everything is connected. The articles on crystal growth report what I did; the articles on visualization and numerics report how I did it. They belong together.
I have also gathered together several essays on the dismal state of scientific computing, and the flaws inherent to traditional publishing as a primary means of disseminating our research. I've put this link first because I think these essays are important and everyone should read them. So jump in and get started.
