About

Researcher first, builder always.

My academic home is physics, but I have always worked across fields. I care about clear thinking, rigorous models, and turning complex ideas into things people can actually use.

I am especially interested in the boundary between physics and philosophy, including metaphysics and consciousness research.

Current focus

What I am working on now

  • Physics Research

    PhD candidate at Idaho State University focused on foundational questions in physics, including work connected to the MOLLER experiment.

  • Learning Design

    I spent a year pursuing an Instructional Design PhD and continue to apply that training to how I communicate technical ideas.

  • Philosophy and Consciousness

    Outside formal research, I write and think about metaphysics, consciousness, and what counts as a meaningful explanation of reality.

Contact

Open to thoughtful collaboration.

If you want to talk research, learning design, or long-form ideas, email me directly. I read everything myself.
