Hello! I am a sophomore majoring in Physics who took the Calculus-based version of this course last semester with Dr. Asadi! I am a big American football fan (go Birds) and try my best to keep up with other sports in my free time. I am excited to work with everyone this semester!
Jeffrey Louis Pingel
Hello! I am an Electrical Engineering major planning to minor in Physics, with a strong interest in research at CU Denver. I am particularly interested in the intersection of electrical engineering and physics, especially in quantum-related systems and applications. I enjoy working through problems conceptually and helping others understand not just how to solve them, but why the solutions work. I'm excited to work with all of you in this upcoming semester, and wish you luck in your classes!

Hi! I am a senior majoring in psychology and fell in love with physics after taking it with Dr. Gifford. I love to play the piano, organ, and enjoy playing Fortnite. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and working with you, cheers!
Eunese Downs
I am a biology major who has a deep passion for almost all things Science. I am very approachable and always looking forward to helping others, especially in ways I have needed help myself before. Physics can be challenging, but I can say from experience that with a helping hand, you can learn so many awesome things about light, sound waves, and even peacock feathers!

Hello! I am currently a junior majoring in Biochemistry on the premed track. I took Physics II last semester with Dr. Gifford and loved it! In my free time I enjoy playing sports and going to the gym. I look forward to working with everyone!
George Spilver
Hello! I'm a junior in my second year of physics courses, and this is my second time being an LA (but first time for physics). In school I love many areas of science, philosophy, and other fields, but I'm especially interested in physics, with the current goal of going into some kind of physics research. Outside of school I love listening to and making music, working on and driving cars, videogames, and being in out in nature. I hope this semester goes well for everyone, and that I can help you all achieve your goals in and out of school!

Hi! I am a third-year Biology major with a Chemistry minor on the pre-med track. I really enjoyed taking this lab, even though it was challenging, and I'm so excited to help you navigate it this semester. I love working with students, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need help with the lab or have any questions about the pre-med journey. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi! I am a third year student in the B.S. Computer Science program at CU Denver. I took this lab last semester and really enjoyed it! I know that physics can be challenging at times, so I am here to help answer questions and support you throughout the semester! In my free time, I enjoy running and playing board games! Please do not hesitate to reach out. I am looking forward to working with you all!
Keilinh Huynh (003, 007)
Hi!! I am a third year at CU Denver, majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry. Even though my degree isn't centered around physics, I have found a great interest in this branch of science. I have found many ways that I could apply what I have learned in every day life, which I find super cool. I enjoy nail art, k-pop, Taekwondo, and gaming; so I would love to talk to you about any of your interests as well as my own! I look forward to working with you guys! Let's have a great semester!

Hiya I'm Sukainah! I am a junior majoring in biology, pre med. I am here to help you with any questions you might have regarding this lab. But I would also be more than happy to lend an ear as a peer for anything you might be struggling with out of this lab.
Eli Fine (003, 004)
I am a biology premed major. I enjoy hiking, cosplaying, and collecting Pokémon cards in my free time. Let me know if you have any good anime recommendations :)
John Kauffman (004, 006, APL-001)
I'm a junior level Physics major and have been at CU Denver for four years now. I started off in Mechanical Engineering but after taking the core Physics classes, decided that it seemed more interesting to me (no hate to MechE). Lucky enough to be from Colorado but don't go camping as much as I should. The toughest lesson I've almost learned is that a lot of course content can be difficult to digest, so please don't hesitate to ask others for assistance. It will save a lot of time and stress.
