ChicagoProper

Hey there! I'm Christian, a 26-year-old Ph.D. candidate doing Physics Education Research. I care a lot about making physics more accessible and easy to learn, and I love investigating how folks understand physics. I grew up in Chicago, did undergrad in Ohio, and moved out to Oregon for grad school. Unsurprisingly, I'm a big nerd. I love researching things, finding new hobbies to try out, and connecting with folks over their interests. I also spend a lot of my time doing work for the Graduate Employee union. I fight hard to make sure grads aren't taken advantage of because being a grad student is rough enough as is!
