I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Physics at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Though my degree is certainly concentrated in the hard sciences, my work has comprised of much more than derivations on a chalkboard. I have conducted research alongside two international collaborations, the Nab collaboration at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the CRISP collaboration at the University of Cádiz in Andalucía, Spain. These experiences, alongside relevant coursework, gave me the chance to work with software through simulation development, data analytics, and quantum computing protocols and hardware in the form of data acquisition computers and test equipment.
I compiled my work with the Nab collaboration into my undergraduate thesis which is currently awaiting publication.
My research with Nab and CRISP has made its way to numerous university, regional, and national conferences.
I also have had the privilege of presenting a paper I wrote about the potential implications of quantum mechanics on human consciousness
at a national conference.
