Robert L. Blum Ph.D.

Robby Blum's personal/professional website

Hello and welcome to my Personal Website, which I have decided that I probably ought to have finally.

I did my Ph.D. in physics at Yale University, in Sean Barrett’s lab. My graduate work focused on applications of solid-state NMR techniques to various novel questions. Further details are in my published work (see Publications).

I have been taking aerial circus classes for several years now. I have spent a lot of time on lyra, and am currently focusing on Chinese pole. I also am learning to juggle, because at some point everyone learning circus arts decides to learn to juggle as well. It’s fun! I’m not very good at it yet! I don’t have much of anything about this online right now, but if I ever put together a performance I’ll link it on here.

I also love sports and sports statistics, as well as video games; the combination of these has led me to be involved in statistical and other mathematical analysis of the online fake sport video game Blaseball as part of the Society for Internet Blaseball Research (SIBR). I also am involved in the Splatoon 3 competitive scene, both as a player and as a tournament organizer with Inkling Performance Labs (IPL). Naturally, I have also gravitated toward analysis projects for Splatoon when I get the chance.

I have done several small analysis projects that I don’t have on GitHub, but have written up the results either here or elsewhere:
