I am a plasma physicist. I work with observations trying to understand instabilities and the kinetic physics of energy transport and dissipation in collisionless plasmas.

You might notice that many of the questions I ask are related to quantum. These are driven by curiosity because quantum always confused me, even through graduate school. I could do the symbol gymnastics to get an A, but the concepts never quite sat well and still don't...
