At the age of six, I suffered a head injury that made learning challenging early on. Despite the struggles, I persevered and later excelled in academics, becoming one of the top students in my calculus courses. This determination to overcome obstacles fueled my passion for physics, leading me to dive deep into the complexities of quantum mechanics, statistical thermal physics, and non-linear dynamics. My academic journey culminated in completing every available physics course at the University of Portland, where I also conducted key experiments such as the Cavendish Experiment and worked with the Michelson-Morley interferometer. I later applied my physics knowledge to computational simulations, creating a high-performance N-body galaxy collision simulation using CUDA and Python. This project, which handled datasets of up to 100,000 masses, allowed me to optimize Newtonian mechanics calculations and experiment with large-scale parallel processing. Additionally, my deep interest in physical phenomena, from gravitational interactions to quantum uncertainty, continues to drive my enthusiasm for exploring the intersections of physics and computing.
