About Me

I am currently a faculty researcher and physics lab instructor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where I earned my Ph.D in physics, specializing in astrophysics. I earned a B.S. in physics and astronomy from UT Austin. Before entering academia, I served in the US Air Force for 6 years.
