Hi! My name is Swatiswagatika Nayak, and this is my AP Research project. I have always been interested in space exploration and how much there is to study and learn about beyond our planet. I wanted to incorporate my interests of space exploration into my research project and find a truly novel research idea. I am more of a data analysis researcher that needs to find scientific correlation between data to come to a valid conclusion. This researcher trait has played a huge part in making my project ideas and interests come to light and in finalizing my research methodology. I am a strong student in Math and Physics and my experience in taking these courses gave me a lot of insight while encountering problems within my project methodology. 

Outside of school, I enjoy Astronomy, Singing, Photography, doing arts and crafts, and shopping for outfits. My love and interest for Astronomy is what is driving my research currently.
