Physics Major

What's your favorite thing about working at Greenville College?

Greenville College truly promotes academic freedom. As faculty, we are encouraged to present all theories and viewpoints to the students and let them use their God-given intellect and reasoning skills, along with the Holy Spirit's guidance, to develop their own well-informed perspectives. We are not afraid of truth and are happy to let it guide our academic curiosity. Secular institutions, although they espouse this ideal, do not practice this as well as some Christian universities.

What attracted you to physics, and how do you use it outside of the classroom?

I greatly enjoy using mathematical and computational tools to uncover the hidden laws of nature. The challenges that arise in theoretical and computational physics can be handled with creativity and problem solving. I enjoy using these types of thinking skills when unraveling the beautiful laws of God's ordered physical universe. The disciplines that I develop from this search are carried over to my other interests outside of the classroom, such as running, grilling, and movie-watching.
