Hey there!
I'm a computational physicist at Robert Morris University. My research interests are quite eclectic, from computational biology to alternative energy systems, but all of my research largely involves me solving systems numerically.
This website also details my teaching, including my textbooks for General Physics I and II.
What am I working on right now?
My Computational Biology students have been working on a model of a zombie apocalypse in John Jay (science and engineering builing at RMU). That code is a little too big for here, but we used a simpler model for testing parameters and debugging which I'll embed below. The zombies are green (naturally) and dead people are red. Closed doors are blue (but some people can open them) and open doors are transparent. Zombies can infect people (dark green with an average incubation period of 10 s) and people can fight back and kill the zombies. Click Run and see what happens!
You can zoom in and change the camera angle by various clicking and dragging.
The paper written from this work is here:
