Who am I?
Roman. a fourth-year PhD student in aerospace engineering at Texas A&M, working on laser-based diagnostics for high-speed flows and plasmas. I grew up in San Diego around water polo, surfing, and lifeguarding. I love the outdoors and I work out a lot (too much). Some of my other interests are space technology, semiconductors, fusion, and endurance sports.
This blog is named “Roman’s Edge”. Why?
The most interesting parts of existence are on the metaphorical edge. The edge is where systems and people are pushed to failure. It’s where new technology emerges, where performance is decided by small margins, and where choices matter. Those conditions are more revealing than stable ones. This is where the most meaningful moments of history and our own lives are decided.
What’s the purpose of this blog?
Without getting swept up in emotions, this is just an excuse to procrastinate more productively. A place to explore concepts, technical topics, training, and trips. I hope that this will improve my ability to convey a wide range of ideas and help spark deeper conversations with my readers.
