  • A (rather pedantic) guide to compiling NEMO5 on a Linux system using GNU and Intel (MKL) libraries.
    Compiling NEMO5 from source
  • Solving Poisson's equation via relaxation on an Android using the NDK and OpenMP.
    OpenMP Relaxation on Android
  • Simulating a double pendulum in Maya using RK4. Scripted in Python.

Who I Am




Hello there! My name is John, and I'm a college student from Boston studying Physics and Computer Science. I love finding new ways to apply my skills in math and programming, and I'm very interested in the intersection of art and science. The name of this website is a stupid play on the color model used in your computer monitor, additive RGB.

I'm particularly interested in Computer Graphics and High-Performance Computing, but I'm also a huge fan of film and storytelling in general. My dream is to combine these two passions by working in either Computer Animation or Game Design.

As of now I'm enjoying the various disciplines in need of skills like mine, and I constantly leave my comfort zone for something new. I love working with computers both large and small, and I hope to put this to use in an intriguing and engaging arena.

To those interested, I have a more formal resume available here:
