Experience
Grad student instructor for intro level astronomy at U Michigan Taught Astro 110 at Carleton College as visiting professor Lab assistance for many intro astronomy and physics labs while a student at Carleton Former Expert Math tutor at the Mathnasium in Lakeville, MN: taught math to all grade levels to students of all types (from grades ahead to grades behind) Former peer tutor for math: while in high school I tutored other high school students one-on-one in their math courses I have extensive experience tutoring mathematics K-12. I was trained in the Mathnasium curriculum for tutoring in 2008. My approach is to develop an intuitive understanding of fundamental math skills that bridge across all topics of the grade school curriculum. Education: - College math -- Calc I, II, III, Linear Algebra, Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations - College physics -- intro, basic and advanced classical mechanics, basic and advanced electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, contemporary lab physics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, special and general relativity, astrophysics - Graduate astrophysics: in preparation for my Ph.D. I have a solid general knowledge base regarding the physics of the universe. However, my research specialities are in galaxies, galaxy clusters, and strong gravitational lensing. I have 4 first-author papers published in peer-reviewed astrophysical journals.
