About Me:

I have done research in both experimental and theoretical biophysics, as well as in quantum information theory and the philosophical foundations of physics.  I'm currently a graduate student in Physics at the University of Maryland, working on (1) the implementation of a biologically authentic physics curriculum for pre-health profession students (NEXUS), and (2) the development of a common thermodynamics for students of biology, chemistry and physics (TUES).  Plenty of info on each of these endeavors can be found here:

(1) (NEXUS) National Experiment in Undergraduate Science Education 

(2) (TUES) Creating a Common Thermodynamics 

Here's my CV.
