About Me

Hello! I like dogs. my name is Gibson Green and I am going into my junior (class of 2021) at Florida Gulf Coast University. I am a Software Engineering Major with a minor in Mathematics. I am a Stellar
Research Assistant for Dr. Derek Buzasi at FGCU. Currently, I am researching Stellar bodies recorded in the 2003 GALEX NASA Campaign. I am using the gPhoton Software. I am in the
Honors College. I have held the position as an Honors College Mentor for the University. I mentored 5 new members of FGCU's Honors College, and helped them acclimate to the University and
bring them to speed on the expectations of the Honors College. Finally, I am a brother in the Florida Xi Chapter of the Phi Delta Theta Florida Xi chapter at FGCU.

In the world of Software Engineering, I have began my initial steps in my long future as an Engineer. I find myself extremely intrigued and interested and look forward to my education!

In my free time I love watching TedTalks about anything having to do with Futurism, I play Intramural Basketball and follow anything that has to do with basketball, I love playing video
games that include Fortnite, NBA 2k19, The Elder Scrolls series, etc.

Under Dr. Buzasi, I research using the program gPhoton. gPhoton is a Python program written to sift through GALEXs (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) time and location stamped photon data that was previously unviewable. Using the program, I go through star sources provided by Dr. Buzasi and develop light curves for the targets. For the Stellar Research team, I have also begun redesigning the current fgcstellar.org website.
From my high school transcripts and test scores, I was offered a seat in FGCU's Honors College immediadetly upon acceptance into the University. In my freshman year: I lived in the Honors Housing Community and developed relationships with my peers in the Honors College. I took Honors Sequence Courses in: Research Symposium & Planet Hunters. I applied to be an Honors College Mentor in the Spring of 2018 and received the position. In the position, I represented the school and the Honors College in helping develop and framiliarize incoming freshman Honors College Students through mentorship. I held this position throughout my sophmore year, holding the highest leadership position in the Honors College.
FGCU Honors course titled Planet Hunters was taught by Dr. Derek Buzasi. The first semester developed the class knowledge of general Astronomical and Astrophysical topics. The second semester followed with a research aspect where teams analyzed 200 light curves from Keplers Campaigns 15 & 16 data using Dr. Buzasis AstroDev tool. In doing so, my teammate and I discovered one candidate exoplanet, one rotating star, and two binary stars. To conclude the course, I represented my class, as Dr. Buzasi and I travel to Denver for the 232nd American Astronomical Society Conference. We presented our classes discoveries
I rushed the Florida Xi Chapter of Phi Delta Theta at FGCU in the Fall semester of my freshman year in 2017. In my first semester as a brother I held the Community Service Chairman position. In my second semester as a brother I held the Philanthropy Chairmain position. In the Spring semester of my sophmore year I began my year long Vice President position of the fraternity. In the upcoming months I plan to become an Iron Phi Through the fraternity. Continue to the Fraternity Involvement tab for more information.

LFHS Group Automatic Ball Launcher LFHS Honors CAD Engineering (Year 2) Group Ball Launcher Assignment. In groups, the class was assigned to create a ball
launcher that would autonomous load, reload, and launch a tennis ball. Goal was to make a launcher that could be utilized by the physically disabled. Could us launcher to play with friends, children, baseball practice, fetch with dog, etc.
Scratch Soccer Video Game FGCU Introduction to Programming assignment: make a video game, make a video, or animation using Sratch. I chose to create a two person soccer game, where the ball first to 10 wins! Click the link to play.
