Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm a graduate student in Condensed Matter Theory at MIT, which means I love to talk about Quantum Mechanics. My family is from Nigeria, though I grew up in Delaware. In my free time, I love to play soccer, drink tea, and read philosophy, religion, or manga. I've been mentoring students in Physics since I was in high school, and really love trying to make complex physics topics understandable.

S15662: Relativity and Black Holes in HSSP Summer 2023 (Jul. 09, 2023)
Ever wanted to learn about how time space bend into each other? Want to get a semi-technical introduction to one of the pillars of modern physics? Come take a whirlwind tour of Special Relativity, General Relativity, and Black Holes. We'll introduce just enough math so you can do some calculations on your own. Along the way, we'll learn about time dilation, length contraction, how matter affects spacetime, and even what's "inside" a black hole.
