"I'm a theoretical physicist, with a PhD from the University of Cambridge. I'm currently a Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I work on theoretical aspects of quantum condensed matter physics. I've lectured for undergraduate and graduate level courses at Cambridge and other major research universities.

Both physics and math have reputations for being inherently difficult subjects. However, these are two beautiful and deeply rewarding subjects, which can absolutely be made approachable at any level. I love to share math and physics with students, and I pride myself on explaining ideas simply, breaking everything into core concepts.

My wife, also trained as a mathematician, currently teaches 1st grade. I regularly do STEM outreach in elementary school classrooms. I love to share science with young people, and demonstrate that no one is too young to be a scientist! I'm also currently serving as a Review Editor and Scientist Mentor with Frontiers in Young Minds, a program through which I teach a 4th-5th high ability class about the peer-review process. They actually get to review papers for a journal in which notable scientists write for young readers!" less...
