My name is Wayne Clark. I am a 2019 graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in Mechanical Engineering. I am currently a grad student in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Computational Thermal/Fluid Dynamics at UMBC, looking to continue on to a Master's in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in Thermal-Fluid Sciences. Eventually I hope to complete a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering. My main interests are in advanced space propulsion concepts like nuclear-thermal and nuclear-electric systems, ion and plasma thrusters, and more speculative/developmental areas like fusion and antimatter, for interplanetary as well as interstellar transport. In college I also pursued an interest in other areas of mathematics, studying Linear Algebra and Partial Differential Equations.
This website hosts my work and writings (academic, extracurricular, and personal) on various subjects. It is, by design, focused on content over form, inspired by websites such as MathPages.
The name "Muqadduq" has no meaning or reference and is merely something I made up to be distinctive and original.
For those interested, it is intended to be pronounced /mu'qadˁ:uq/, with a voiceless uvular plosive /q/ and a pharyngealized voiced alveolar stop /dˁ/ which is geminated.
All material on this website (images, text, program code, etc.) is my work unless indicated otherwise.
