I'm a PhD theoretical physicist (read "closet mathematician") and educator in the US...

If guilds are forming up, I'd like to have a pack of us "nerd crew" to evaluate solutions from a scientific viewpoint... This would provide an important perspective about constraints on developing ideas.

In ten years, I hope to be involved in operations research and mathematical modeling of real-world systems. I will be working as an analyst worked on a variety of problems related to increasing the efficiency of systems designs by examining the processes involved.



In my spare time, I will work on a space logistics design based on the Aldrin cycler concept, for the eventual human settlement of Mars, and looking at possible… Continue
