I studied Physics and Economics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Upstate NY. In the spring of 2025, I studied at University College London in the United Kingdom. Now, I'm working towards my master's back at RPI.
I enjoy teaching physics concepts at an approachable level — one of my ongoing projects is a free collection of notes covering various physics courses.
