about me
back
I am currently wrapping up my doctorate in Physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. I am originally from Colmar, France but I did my undergraduate at Northwestern University, north of Chicago. Outside of astrophysics, I am passionate about public transit, reading books while on public transit, public parks, reading books while in public parks, indie movie theatres, my local library, the Decatur CD & Vinyl record store, my 2008 Prius, the 6 CDs currently on rotation playing in my 2008 Prius, my cat, and all of the green plants I keep in my home.
