Ethan Knox
A strong mathematics background lending to an innate understanding of the laws of physics.
Particularly interested in scientific computing / computational physics, as it not only greatly elucidates the
underlying physical phenomena, but is frequently at the intersection of theory, experiment, and industry.
I look forward to assisting my future team solve problems and complete professional goals while honing my skills
as a scientist.
