About Me

I am a Chemical Engineer studying at the University of Cincinnati. I love it. Chemistry is one of my favorite subjects next to physics, mathematics, economics, astronomy, and astrophysics. In my spare time I like to read all kinds of books but lately I have been drawn to non-fiction. I enjoy humor in unexpected places - I suggest *A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. I also take time to keep up with current affairs - The World Is Flat. And when I get bored with reality I will pick up a Harry Potter or the next book from Douglas Adams. In 2010 I will be going to Germany for 6 months as part of my university's International Co-Op program. After college I want to seriously consider pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering because I want to achieve a level of expertise in what I will be doing for the many years after school until retirement.
