I have been contributing to Wikipedia since March 2005.
About me
Mikhail Klassen /ˈmiː.kaɪl ˈklɑːsən/. I am a graduate student in astrophysics, studying star formation. My undergraduate studies in applied physics were completed at Columbia University's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science with a research emphasis in magnetically-confined plasmas for nuclear fusion. My current research involves doing numerical simulation of star formation, understanding how different physical mechanisms affect the star formation process and the types of stars that result. A major goal is understanding the physical underpinnings of the the initial mass function. Simulations are carried out on the supercomputers of the SHARCNET consortium.

- Stern-Gerlach Experiment - Theory and basic description of the experiment
- Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science - The engineering school at Columbia University. I edited and expanded various sections, making also a few corrections to the article.
- Columbia University Physics Department
- Nevis Laboratories - A lab operated by Columbia University in Irvington, NY
- St. Paul's Chapel (Columbia University)
- Marianopolis College - Rewrote parts and added sections and photos
- Daniel Kleppner - Quick blurb about the physicist and MIT professor. He co-authored the mechanics textbook that gave me a strong roughing-up during my freshman year in college.
- Townsend avalanche - A cascade reaction of electrons in an electric field triggered by ionizing radiation.
