I am interested in the connection between science, religion, and philosophy and what makes them so opposed to each other in the public eye, especially in the U.S. I am also interested in the parallel development of philosophy and religion in all cultures. Professionally, I have pursued the study of particle astrophysics, in particular ultra-high energy cosmic rays, neutrinos, and their sources. I have worked on the Pierre Auger Observatory, IceCube, EVA, and ARA experiments. I hope that the study of the universe and its laws brings us closer to an understanding of both the divine and human condition. Currently I am working as a Data Scientist helping to develop nuclear technologies that will hopefully help society with problems in the security, medical, and energy fields.
