    Activities and Societies: Phi Kappa Phi

    Thesis titled "The Structure and Dynamics of Monatomic Liquid Polymorphs". I discovered stable liquid polymorphism in Cerium and found strong evidence for metastable polymorphs in Germanium! See my publications for more details.

    Top Student Award - 2012
    Outstanding Graduate Lecturer Award - 2014

  • -

    Trained in running simulations on MIRA, the world's 5th largest supercomputer. Trained in development methods and analysis of highly parallel simulations and analysis methods. Key libraries discussed were MPI, openMP, Tao and accelerator technologies (FPGAs and GPGPUs).

    Activities and Societies: Phi Kappa Phi Full Tuition Assistance, SPACS Scholarship from Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council MGS - 2009

    Courses in Numerical Methods, High Performance Computing, Machine Learning, and various topics in Condensed Matter Physics \& Materials Science.

    Studied computational techniques covering signal analysis, time series analysis, visualization, analyzing chaotic behavior, neural networks, support vector machines and statistics. Concentrated on molecular dynamics simulation and finite element methods.

  • -

    Obtained a dual degree in both Physics and Computer Science. Completed an Honors Thesis in the Physics Department.

Volunteer Experience

  • GMU Greenhouse Volunteer Project Leader - Automated Aquaponics Farming

    George Mason University

    - Present 11 years 5 months

    Education

    Lead a team of 3 undergraduate students who received course credit to work on this project.

    Applied for and won funding to develop an automated growing system using Arduino and Rasberry-Pi with a slew of sensors. The goal was to develop a self contained automated aquaponics growing system.

  • Content Developer and member of Standard Committee

    Open Knowledge-base of Interatomic Potentials (OpenKIM)

    - Present 9 years 10 months

    Science and Technology

    OpenKIM is a standard for materials science simulations and approximations. It is an attempt to organize a highly disorganized field and will provide a method unifying and comparing myriad of computational methods for simulating materials. I helped develop the standards for liquids simulations and tests for those simulation methods.
