About
I am a(n) historian of science and a poet currently working on a Ph.D. in history of science/science studies at the University of California, San Diego.
My dissertation is a social biographical study of the life and career of the American chemist Harold C. Urey. This project grew out of earlier work (recently published) on the history of planetary geology and the philosophical, ethical, and religious implications of astrobiology. I was initially attracted to Urey because of his contributions to lunar exploration and his experiments on the origin of life. However, this project has a life of its own, and has become a study of science and religion in the Cold War.
My first book of poems, In Another Castle (3 Candles Press), was published in 2008. My poetry has also appeared in anthologies and a host of literary magazines and journals.
