I got my Physics Ph.D. In 2017 from the University of Maryland, College Park. I work outside academia now, and miss being able to have in-depth physics discussions.

Welcome to PF.

Please take some time to read our site guidelines (see link below in my signature) as our main focus is to help students with STEM questions and homework (we give hints). We don't discuss personal theories or fringe science only stuff from established peer reviewed science and technical journals.

Welcome again.
