Personal Statement

I, Ramatoulie Bah a Junior with a double major in Computer science and Physics at Elizabeth City State University is a researcher participating with the Physics Team in the Office of Naval Research Program at Elizabeth City State University, under the supervision of Dr. Choudhury and Dr. Hayden.
I also serve as a lab assistant in the same programe where I am further developing my computer skills, and at the same time gaining some valuable experiences.

With the help of our mentor, the physics research team, including my self, investigated the "Motion of Harmonic Oscillator Under the Influence of a Derivative type of Delta Forces", last year( fall '00).
The main objective of the research was to find out and prove the different types of Delta Forces that act on a spring which is being pulled with a mass attached to It.

The research was very interesting and I find It very educational. As a physics major, I am getting first hand Information on how Newton's law of motion came about and works,and also how It affects masses in motion. This makes the learning process much easier.

Last year my project involve the 'Tunneling of Matter Wave Through a
Delta Function Type of Barrier'.

Also under the supervision of Dr. Chouhury, I did an other research; Tunelling of Matter
Waves Through a Delta Function Typen of Barrier.

In the summer of 2001, I was a participant in the Undergraduate Research In AstroPhysics
In South Carolina State University under the Supervision of Dr. Smith and my project title was; Glustering of Galaxies. What i basically did was used the Mathematica software to create a model universe
that will allow for the layering of clusters of galaxies.

Being very interested in technology,I always try to Involve myself In activities pertaining to the advancements made in technology. Releazing my limited background and Inexperience, propels me to get Involve In as many research activities and Internships I can, while pursuing my Bachelor's degree.

After completing my Bachelor's degree In Physics and Computer Science at Elizabeth City State University, I plan to enter graduate school, probably concentrating in Phyiscs,and eventually get my Doctorate's degree.
