I have a PhD in computational physics from the University Of Pennsylvania, as well as a degree in physics and computer science from the University Of British Columbia. I have years of experience as a teaching assistant and have been an instructor at a college level. I've taught hundreds of students to program effectively in a wide range of languages, as well many different physics courses. In the corporate world, I've found the experience of watching a mentee grow and thrive the most satisfying. While small classroom experiences are fun, I love working one on one with students - the moment when an idea "clicks" is just as fun for the teacher as it is for the student!

I am incredibly interested in technology, and love inventing new things. I can't get enough of learning about and applying new techniques in AI, and I usually am working on at least one software project for a new website or game development idea. When it isn't too cold outside, I like to go hiking and explore more of my local mountain range with my family.
