About Me

I am a research scientist, with a focus in theoretical physics and turning things invisible. I've taught math and science to students at all levels, from middle school to graduate students, with a focus on universally accessible, engaging presentations. If students are bored or confused it means I'm not doing my job, so I try to foster a conversational teaching style. My background - undergrad: applied physics at Cornell University, PhD: theoretical physics at MIT, postdoc: research scientist at University of Colorado Boulder - has given me insight into tricks and shortcuts to double check for common mistakes or help students solve problems even if they get stuck.
