Hi there, I’m Logan
My life revolves around my wife Samantha and our dog Copper! We go on lots of walks and bike rides.
Bio
I grew up near Sacramento, California, and went to Bella Vista High School. At Bella Vista I wrestled, acted in plays, played tennis, and competed in Academic Decathlon. I also started tutoring younger kids in math and science.
From 2016-2018 I lived in Perú as a volunteer. I taught English and helped clean up after a major natural disaster hit the town where I lived. I worked to perfect my Spanish and understand people with a much different background than mine.
Returning to the US, I studied physics and math in college and started teaching other college students in physics labs and one-on-one tutoring. I also studied Spanish, Portuguese, and a bit of Quechua, the indigenous language of Perú.
I earned my master's degree in physics in Utah, then moved to Oregon to continue working towards a Ph.D.

I was fortunate to stay at BYU and research my favorite branch of physics! The work I did here is being published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Doctorate Degree in Physics

At the University of Oregon, I'm working towards a PhD in physics. I'm doing research in a quantum optics group and teaching introductory physics classes. I've also started studying French, just for fun!
