About
I'm studying physics and mathematics at SIU Carbondale and expect to graduate in May 2027. My research is in two labs: building a modular laser system for spin exchange optical pumping, and measuring environmental radiation with personal dosimeters.
Before physics I studied electronics and industrial maintenance engineering at John A. Logan College and worked as an automation engineer. I'm president of the Society of Physics Students, where our astrophotography team won a national Emmy for streaming the 2024 solar eclipse, and I'm an Eagle Scout and Scoutmaster of Troop 66 in Carbondale.
Outside of that I build things: Raspberry Pi projects, 3D printing and Linux tinkering. This site runs on a Raspberry Pi at home.
