About Sam


Bio

I'm a theoretical physicist, with a PhD from the University of Cambridge. I'm currently a Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I work on theoretical aspects of quantum condensed matter physics. I've lectured for undergraduate and graduate level courses at Cambridge and other major research universities.

Both physics and math have reputations for being inherently difficult subjects. However, these are two beautiful and deeply rewarding subjects, which can absolutely be made...

I'm a theoretical physicist, with a PhD from the University of Cambridge. I'm currently a Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I work on theoretical aspects of quantum condensed matter physics. I've lectured for undergraduate and graduate level courses at Cambridge and other major research universities.

Both physics and math have reputations for being inherently difficult subjects. However, these are two beautiful and deeply rewarding subjects, which can absolutely be made approachable at any level. I love to share math and physics with students, and I pride myself on explaining ideas simply, breaking everything into core concepts.

My wife, also trained as a mathematician, currently teaches 1st grade. I regularly do STEM outreach in elementary school classrooms. I love to share science with young people, and demonstrate that no one is too young to be a scientist! I'm also currently serving as a Review Editor and Scientist Mentor with Frontiers in Young Minds, a program through which I teach a 4th-5th high ability class about the peer-review process. They actually get to review papers for a journal in which notable scientists write for young readers!

Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I’m a theoretical physicist, with a PhD in Applied Math and Theoretical Physics from Cambridge. I use differential equations every day in my professional work - they are the equations describing the physical world!
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I have years of experience teaching and tutoring discrete mathematics. I also regularly use various forms of discrete mathematics and abstract algebra in my professional work as a research physicist. I'm a theoretical physicist, with a PhD from the University of Cambridge. It's a great subject, and I’m happy to show you that its not as scary as it might seem!

Physical Science

Physical Science

I have years of physical science education experience, from teaching advanced courses at the University of Cambridge to teaching science to 1st-graders! I love helping students understand and appreciate physical science! It is the most fundamental area of science, and a firm grasp of physical intuition in early education is extremely important for later studies in math and science.
Physics

Physics

I’m a professional physicist, with a PhD in Applied Math and Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge. I have taught at all levels, from teaching advanced graduate courses to working with 1st graders. I have a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts underlying physics and math. I really believe that anyone can master and appreciate these subjects; its simply a matter of these fundamental concepts being explained clearly.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have years of math-education experience, from teaching advanced math courses at the University of Cambridge to working with 1st-graders. Precalculus can be difficult without adequate support, but I’m happy to show you that its not as scary as it might seem!
