-===== Resources ===== 
- 
-=== Writing a good Lab Report === 
-{{Lab_Report_Suggestions.pdf|Here's}} a short outline of what I think constitutes a good lab report. 
- 
-=== LaTeX === 
-For those interested in using LaTeX to typset material, if you haven't already you need to download a TeX distribution. Here's a good {{http://latex-project.org/ftp.html|link}} to a discussion of distributions for different operating systems. If you have a Mac you can find a good distribution {{http://tug.org/mactex/downloading.html|here}} and a good front-end in {{http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/documentation.html|TeXShop}}. If you have a Windows computer, I've heard that {{http://miktex.org|MiKTeX}} is very good.  
-A short introduction that I wrote can be found {{tex_introduction.pdf|here}} 
-This is just the .pdf version. There is much more in the commented code, which I've included {{ latex_introduction.rtf| here}} in raw text format. You'll have to copy and paste into a .tex file to be able to compile it.

-===== Research ===== 
-I currently work in the LIGO Stochastic Group on detection of the stocastic gravitational wave background.

-I am a second year physics grad student at University of Minnesota working in the LIGO group. In 2012 I graduated with a B.A. in Physics and Mathematics from {{http://www.kenyon.edu|Kenyon College}} in Gambier, OH, where I ran for the {{http://athletics.kenyon.edu|Lords Cross Country Team}}. I'm originally from Philadelphia, PA.
