I am a physics and computer science educator, with a particular interest in scientists and the realm of space physics. I have an associate's degree in secondary education from North Central Texas College, a bachelor's degree in natural science with a physics specification from Dallas Baptist University, and a master's degree in physics from the University of Texas at Arlington. My master's thesis covered various plasma interactions at the Earth's magnetopause and bow shock, including the appearance of electrostatic solitary waves in Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities formed by the solar wind's interaction with the magnetopause.

I have been credited on a couple papers which researched plasma interactions in Earth's magnetosphere, but have yet to publish as a primary author in a peer-reviewed publication. While I eventually want to adapt my thesis for publication, my current focus is on my educational career, so I anticipate that it will take some time to do that.

This is my primary account, but many of my early edits were done through a separate email at User:TWorkmanRES

If the overlap of the progress box below and the user info to the right bothers you, I plan to fix it soon.
