I am

... in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Wisconsin - Madison working with Paul Wilson on development of the cyclus project and with Argonne National Lab on a nuclear waste repository model. I previously collaborated with the Systems Analysis Campaign at Idaho National Lab and with WAGE at UW. Finally, I was recently the 2010-2011 president of The Hacker Within and a member of The UW American Nuclear Society Student Section.

I can be contacted via email or in my office at argonne and am generally free when my google calendar says so.

In terms of my research interests, I'm interested in the scientific pursuit of a safe, emissions-free, sustainable, high-output energy source. Particularly, I am interested in the promise of a closed nuclear fuel cycle and investigations of waste reprocessing.

My education began in Bellville, Texas and continued at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science program during which I spent the summers of 2003 and 2004 in Los Alamos, New Mexico with LANSCE-3. This was followed by undergraduate physics at The University of Chicago. In the summer of 2006 I worked with el Departamento de Fisica at the University of Chile, but otherwise, all my years and summers in Chicago were spent working with a CMB experiment called quiet. If you are interested in such past projects please read my CV or check out my publications.
