I received my Ph.D. in 2006 from the Department of Physics at Duke University I completed my dissertation in experimental physics in the Non-linear Dynamics Laboratory of Professor Bob Behringer. I also completed an M.S. in Computer Science on a computational project related to my dissertation. My research interests include several phenomena of networks and granular materials and I am interested in computational approaches to studying complex systems in general.

I attended the University of Michigan for my physics B.S., and got my physics M.S. in 2001 from the Georgia Institute of Technology. As an undergraduate I published my physics thesis as two papers with Professor Nori in the Physics Department, and I had three architecture papers on thermal simulation with Professor Malkawi. I was also Editor in Chief of Gargoyle, the University of Michigan humor magazine and also co-president of M-Flicks, the student film club.

I have enough screwy interests to warrant an entire page devoted to them. After the introduction of "frames" back in 1997 I worked hard to create the most abrasive web page ever -- The Interests Page from Hell. I also maintain my own reviews of Prince albums -- he is my favorite musician. Finally, I have placed a selection from my upcoming Civil War epic on the Web for your reading pleasure.
