Greetings! I am currently enlisted in the United States Navy and training to be a nuclear reactor operator aboard a submarine or aircraft carrier; I have a BS in mathematics and physics and experience conducting experimental laboratory research including simulating and measuring the surface mechanics of molecular films, imaging for gov't projects using LIDAR and laser spectroscopy, and harvesting and purifying nematode extracts for sex pheromone discovery. I am also a National Merit Scholar and a member of the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry.
