I'm a Ph.D. physicist, engineer, and maker and I love creative work on hard problems.
During my Ph.D. work, I designed and built a one-of-a-kind laboratory experiment at the University of Maryland intended to give insight into the process of magnetic field generation in Earth's core. This experiment spins twenty tons of molten sodium metal and stainless steel at four revolutions per second.
I'm nearly finished with my project here, and I'm now training my sights on more applied scientific and engineering work related to challenges in energy, environment, and economy that we're going to face in decades to come.
