Bland
Winnipeg, Canada Area
Trained as a theoretical and experimental research physicist with applied mathematical, analytical and computer programming experience. For the past several years, I have contributed to the international education industry both as a teacher and a leader. I am currently teaching physics while also registered as an occasional student working towards an MBA with a concentration in finance. I value the ethical pursuit of knowledge in all forms.

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
Theoretical and Mathematical Physics
My thesis examined the dimension dependence of mass-scaling which occurs during the spherically symmetric collapse of massless scalar field. The work included optimizing a semi-adaptive numerical integration and differentiation routine written in C and analyzing the nature of the self-similarity and scaling of the critical solutions observed in the system. It was found that the scaling parameters in the large dimension limit appear to converge toward an analytical solution of a generic 2 dimensional CGHS action. The study extended the pioneering work of Matt Choptuik, David Garfinkle, and others in the field of numerical relativity.
