Hi! My name is Loki and I’m a graduate of Princeton University, where I earned my B. A. in Physics and a certificate in Applied Mathematics. My research specialized in theoretical high-energy physics (think: particles and strings). I am currently pursuing my PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Michigan.
I have always loved teaching, having been a tutor and teaching assistant at Princeton throughout my time as an undergraduate. I see every tutoring session as an opportunity to challenge myself to explain concepts in just the right way for a particular student, since no two students learn the same way.
Outside of academics, I enjoy playing piano, skateboarding, and reading books (especially sci-fi).
