About me...

I just received my BSc in Honors Physics & Astronomy plus Minor Computer Science at the University of British Columbia in May 2009, and I am currently a PhD student in the University of Toronto. Before I came I also spent a total of about 2 years doing research for astronomy and software development, some of them under Co-op. See the work page for some things I've done.

My interests...

I like programming and just solving problems on computers, so I'm interested in computation and simulation in astronomy - things like N-body simulation on large scale things or galaxies would be nice. I just don't like observations, since I have a tendency to screw up physics labs.
