Erik Reimers is a full-time undergraduate student at UAH, as well as a Research Assistant at NSSTC. From June to December 2008, he was the design lead on the full and exhaustive Version 4 overhaul of the SPoRT website, and he continues to spend most of his time at work updating and expanding the site and the scripts behind it. Erik also analyzes the data gathered by the Cooperative Huntsville Area Rainfall Measurement (CHARM) network, and curates, updates, and polishes the CHARM website until it is informative, easy-to-use, and generally shiny.
Erik is double-majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics, mostly because he likes both and enjoys school way too much. He is a recipient of the UAH Platinum Scholarship, as well as the Jane Knight Lowe Memorial Scholarship. Prior to being a Research Assistant, he programmed test machines for circuit boards coming off of assembly lines. He graduated from Virgil I. Grissom High School in the Class of 2005 with Honors and an Advanced Degree, and was a National Merit Finalist. In high school, he was enrolled in a Computer Electronics curriculum at the Huntsville Center for Technology, where he was team leader of a project for the High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program. His team designed, built, and programmed a training locker for astronauts bound for the International Space Station (PDF article).
In the very near future, Erik hopes to complete his CS/Math degree, and then look towards graduate school, possibly in Astrophysics.
