Welcome! I'm an associate professor of Physics at Loyola University Chicago. My research addresses problems in general relativity, cosmology, string theory, and quantum field theory. I spend a lot of time thinking about black holes.
I grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, went to college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and did my graduate work at the University of Texas at Austin. After finishing my PhD, I held postdoctoral positions at the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics, Brown University, and the Perimeter Institute. You can see a copy of my CV here. My Google Scholar profile can be found here.
If you're looking for course websites, here are links to Electricity & Magnetism and Introduction to Particle Physics.
You might be looking for my page with conventions, definitions, identities, and formulas useful for researchers in gravitation and high-energy theory. Those can be found here. An older version is available here, but you should use the more recent one!
I am pretty active on social media. I no longer use Twitter, but you can find me on Mastodon and Bluesky and maybe elsewhere.
