SUMMARY

My education at Clemson University has laid a strong foundation in physics and science including: mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism (my favorite topic), circuitry, semiconductor devices, optics, thermodynamics, nuclear-particle physics, and economics on which I can effectively branch out into industry and the work force becoming a solid member of any company bringing knowledge, ideas, order, but also a desire to learn about other technologies, and become a member of the team.
