A Duke-trained science student with minors in both biology and chemistry, Rayhan approaches physics problems by grounding them in the physical intuition behind the math — why Newton's second law is a relationship between net force and acceleration, not just F=ma to plug into. He walks through free-body diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior with an emphasis on setting up problems correctly before touching a calculator.

Danielle teaches physics alongside calculus and pre-calculus, which means she can catch the exact moment a student's struggle with a force or energy problem is actually a math issue in disguise — a shaky derivative, a mishandled vector component — and fix it on the spot. She leans heavily on building the physical picture first, getting students to describe what's happening in plain language before translating into equations and numbers.

A Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering degree from NC State means Catrina didn't just study physics — she applied it daily across mechanics, electromagnetism, and wave behavior.
