I’m Victoria, and this site mostly has my sewing projects and science writing, with a sprinkling of older poetry & etc.
I’m a prairie kid, parent of two, celiac, and like lane swimming. I love to research. I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor. I’m now doing a Master’s in economics.
A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.
My latest for the CLS… I think I’m starting to get marginally better at video production!
Cheap, thin, and with increasing performance efficiency, perovskites are a key technology for the future of solar cells. University of Toronto's Sam Teale shows us how he uses the Canadian Light Source's Brockhouse beamlines to study and improve these advanced materials.
