I’m a prairie kid who loves research. I have a Master’s in economics with a focus on public programs, labour and education. Long before that, I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor.

Besides my resume, you’ll find this page full of sewing projects, the odd published poem, and stories about Canadian science.

A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.

My latest for the CLS… I think I’m starting to get marginally better at video production!

Cheap, thin, and with increasing performance efficiency, perovskites are a key technology for the future of solar cells. University of Toronto's Sam Teale shows us how he uses the Canadian Light Source's Brockhouse beamlines to study and improve these advanced materials.
