Brief Biographical Sketch:
I graduated in 2013 with a Ph.D. in physics. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S6955: Bose-Einstein Condensates: The Coldest Stuff in the Universe in Spark! 2013 (Mar. 16, 2013)
It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. One place where this weirdness occurs is at very cold temperatures, billionths of degrees above absolute zero. At these temperatures, millions of atoms can act as one huge atom called a Bose-Einstein condensate and have bizarre properties. I’ll show how you can calculate how ‘fuzzy’ you are and how cold you have to be to pass through walls! We’ll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our universe really is.
S6218: Bose-Einstein Condensates: The Coldest Stuff in the Universe in Splash! 2012 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2012)

S5793: Weird Atoms and Strange Photons: The Quantum Nature of the Universe in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. I’ll explain some of these ideas at the size of atoms, where particles routinely walk through walls, are both everywhere and nowhere at once and where almost anything can happen. One place where these weird cases occur is at very cold temperatures, billionths of degrees above absolute zero. At these temperatures, millions of atoms can act as one huge atom. We’ll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our universe really is.
S5054: Weird Atoms and Strange Photons: The Quantum Nature of the Universe in Splash! 2011 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2011)
It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. I'll explain some of these ideas at the size of atoms, where particles routinely walk through walls, are both everywhere and nowhere at once and where almost anything can happen. One place where these weird cases occur is at very cold temperatures, billionths of degrees above absolute zero. At these temperatures, millions of atoms can act as one huge atom. We’ll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our universe really is.
S4562: Quantum Tunneling, Black Holes, and The Weird Universe in Spark! 2011 (Mar. 12, 2011)
It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. We’ll explain some of these ideas, ranging from the very small – where particles routinely walk through walls and almost anything can happen – to the very large – where the fabric of space and time itself is curved, a glance at the sky can show you the birth of the universe, and mysteriously named Black Holes are inescapable for anything, even light itself. We’ll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our universe really is.
S4563: From Ultracold Atoms To Superstring Theory in Spark! 2011 (Mar. 12, 2011)
What would happen if you could cool objects to really, really cold temperatures? What would the world look like if you could look at objects at smaller and smaller distances? We’ll talk about the amazing discoveries that people have made trying to answer these questions, including Bose-Einstein condensation, where millions of atoms act as one huge atom, and the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the objects that make up our universe. Be ready to have your mind blown away!
S3934: Quantum Tunneling, Black Holes, and The Weird Universe in Splash! 2010 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2010)

It turns out that behind the scenes nature works in bizarre and wonderful ways. We'll explain some of these ideas, ranging from the very small--where particles routinely walk through walls and are both everywhere and nowhere at once--to the very large--where the fabric of space and time itself is curved, a glance at the sky can show you the birth of the Universe, and mysteriously named Black Holes are inescapable for anything, even light itself. We'll discuss these cryptic sentences and explain how weird our Universe really is.
