Projects and Posts on Physics and Programming

Nice to meet you!

I’m physicist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. This is the home of my personal blog and project directory and represent only my views, not those of my current employer.

Feel free to get in touch.

Academic Work

You can read up on the previous research project I’ve been involved in. Or take a look at the publication list can also give you a quick overview of my work.

Programming Projects

I’ve worked in a variety of languages from MATLAB to Mathematica to Python. You can find some of these projects on this page, but I have migrated most to github.
