EDUCATION

• B.S. 2005, University of Wisconsin-Madison
  Physics, Mathematics, Molecular Biology, Computer Science

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

• University of Wisconsin-Madison, 8/2004-2005
  Advisor - Tom Yin, PhD
  Project - Localization of sounds by cats. My responsibilities were primarily concerned with keeping the computer systems running and implementing new ideas in software.
• University of Wisconsin-Madison, 4/2003-2005
  Advisor - Julian Clint Sprott, PhD
  Project - Writing computer programs that perform large numerical calculations. Used the Lotka-Volterra equations to study chaos in ecological models, specifically focusing on the spatio-temporal properties and consequences of these systems
• University of Wisconsin-Madison, 3/2002-2005
  Advisor - Frank Weinhold,
  Project - Research in theoretical chemistry using molecular modeling computer programs to investigate the bonding properties of molecules and the secondary structure of proteins. Attempted to discover a quantum mechanical explanation for alpha-helix formation
