About This Site

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! Here I showcase my favorite works and recipes, as well as shamelessly plug for my clubs. No matter what brings you here, I hope you explore the content and find it thought-provoking. Enjoy your stay, and check back for updates!


Photo Spheres

Immersive panoramas as seen from various altitudes. Each rectilinear projection is carefully stitched from 300-400 image segments then blended to compensate for exposure differences. Created with PTGui Pro and post-processed with Lightroom & Photoshop.

Gallery

Aerial photography taken by an absolute amateur. Despite his complete lack of natural talent and formal training, the photographer nonetheless posts his work for the world to see. Is it hubris? Ignorance? A subconscious desire for validation? Decide for yourself.

Research and Interests

Web Application Development, Management, Security, and Vulnerability Scanning

I'm a Research Assistant for the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department at Indiana University. There, I help develop and maintain a variety of web applications in the field of geochemical modeling. I also perform various administration tasks, such as managing our mineral species database and web server. My latest work is in developing a geochemistry Science Gateway to help facilitate the shared access of geochemical modeling data, software, and services.

My work has contributed to the following publications:

  • Zhang YL, Hu B, Teng Y, Tu K, Zhu C (2019) A library of BASIC scripts of reaction rates for geochemical modeling using PHREEQC. Computers and Geosciences DOI
  • Zhang GR, Lu P, Zhang YL, Tu K, Zhu C (in review) SupPʜʀᴇᴇǫᴄ: A program to generate customized PHREEQC thermodynamic and to extend calculations to elevated pressures and temperatures. Computers and Geosciences DOI
