Originally from Wyoming, I have spent the last twelve years in the Bay Area of California. I enjoy exercising, snowboarding, and discovering/learning new knowledge. I’m an undergraduate student studying Electrical Engineering/Computer Science with an emphasis in biotech and medical device development. I became a physics enthusiast in 2020 after I discovered how physics governs nearly everything in the world and provides advancements in technology and health. I am a cancer survivor, diabetic, and heart transplant recipient who is dedicated to giving back to the healthcare system by making improvements in medical technology.

Recommend reading: “Introduction to Quantum Mechanics” 3rd edition, by Griffiths. While I don’t recommend this as your first exposure to quantum physics, I think this book does a great job going over the basics so that you have a strong foundation moving forward in the more complex areas of quantum mechanics.
