Education: I did my B.Sc. at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where I major in applied math, and I have minor in computing science. My B.Sc.'s thesis was about 3D visualization, by means of Amira and Fluent, of metallurgical tanks in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering. I did my M.Sc. at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where my thesis was based on 2D SPH simulations of the gas surrounding a black hole. The idea was to get the oscillation of the gas, hence, I developed a Fast Fourier Transfer code that code get the peak frequency of the gas; this frequency was compared with observations. I did my Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Alberta. My Ph.D's thesis was about 3D SPH interactions (I used StarSmasher which used MPI for hydrodynamics and CUDA for gravity) between 2 stars (dynamical collision or common envelope). I developed 3D and 2D to analyse the interactions, I also developed 3D/2D visualization tools for a comprehensive way to look at the interactions (see my movies). I also developed mathematical and physical tools that can be used to identify a CEE. My codes were mainly developed in C++ and Fortran with OpenMP in order to solve the interactions faster.
Research Interest: Common envelope events,compact binary formation, stellar mergers, double white dwarf formation, Low mass X-ray binaries, Ultra compact X-ray binary formation, blue Stragglers.
The drama between Fernando “JNandez” Habegger and Doug Polk, with Joey Ingram stuck in between, continued this past weekend with two news videos. The whole fiasco has turned into a “he said, he said” affair with each party blaming the other.
You might ask, “Who cares?” But with tens of thousands of views, there are clearly those who do.
Polk: 'When Fernando makes baseless allegations against me … that is complete f***ing bullshit and I’m not going to stand for it.”
In the first video, titled “The Truth About Doug Polk, Joey Ingram and my Relationship with Upswing Poker,” Habegger talks about his foray into Upswing Poker via PLO Lab. Habegger, who resides in Switzerland, admitted he was a fanboy of Polk at the time and was willing to accept 25 percent of each $1,000 sale.
However, an affiliate deal with Ingram muddied the waters. According to Habegger, his affiliate concerns – which included “cannibalizing the customer” and cutting into others’ profits – continued into the revamped PLO University. Habegger claimed to have traveled to Las Vegas in December to meet with Polk, Ingram and Ryan Fee.
“I’m very unhappy with the way the deal is settled and I’m unhappy with the way Upswing Poker has basically betrayed me in this situation,” Habegger said he told Ingram during a meeting at the ARIA.
Other highlights from the video included:
Not one to sit idle by, Polk released a response video titled “Let’s Talk About The Facts Regarding Upswing Poker and JNandez.”
“Upswing Poker has fairly compensated JNandez for all the work he has done for the site and we’re going to prove that,” Polk began. Indeed, he proceeded to share the contract, bank statements, PayPal screenshots, and archived Skype conversations. Polk literally did the math on the stream for transparency’s sake.
“The numbers add up. I really have no idea where he’s getting this $90K or $100K estimate from,” said Polk, who also highlighted portions of the contract prohibiting Habegger from talking about Upswing business like he did in his video.
Other things Polk revealed, either in the video in the comments to it, included:
“In summary, I care a lot about my business because I’m proud of what I’ve built. I’ve worked really hard over the last few years for Upswing to be what it is and to try and build that company. I also care a lot about the customers at Upswing and I care about the audience of people that watch my videos, and so when Fernando makes baseless allegations against me … that is complete f***ing bullshit and I’m not going to stand for it.”
