Welcome to my website

My name is Meir Schochet, and I’m a first year PhD student in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University. I am currently working under the guidance of Dr. Adina Feinstein on young stellar activity and other forms of observable stellar phenomena. Before moving to East Lansing, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my B.S. in Astrophysics and a minor in Philosophy from the University of Florida.

This is the front page of my website, and it is powered by the Academic Pages template and hosted on GitHub pages. GitHub pages is a free service in which websites are built and hosted from code and data stored in a GitHub repository, automatically updating when a new commit is made to the repository. This template was forked from the Minimal Mistakes Jekyll Theme created by Michael Rose, and then extended to support the kinds of content that academics have: publications, talks, teaching, a portfolio, blog posts, and a dynamically-generated CV. Incidentally, these same features make it a great template for anyone that needs to show off a professional template! You can fork this template right now, modify the configuration and Markdown files, add your own PDFs and other content, and have your own site for free, with no ads!
