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.
Cuprate superconductors operate at higher temperatures than any other superconductors ever identified. Scientists hope to one day develop a room-temperature superconductor, harnessing insights about this unusual material.University of Waterloo and Cornell University researchers Christopher McMahon, Haofei Wei, and Cissy Suen are studying a type of cuprate crystal as it transitions from its superconductive and non-superconductive state.
