Brief Biographical Sketch:

Michael is the 2007-2008 Chairman of the Stanford Educational Studies Program. As an undergraduate, he was the chairman of MIT ESP from 2003 to 2006. He is a member of MIT's class of 2007, with degrees in physics and mathematics. In his spare time, he is now studying for a PhD in physics at Stanford University. His research focuses on the astrophysics of blazars--supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies, whose radio jets are created by some of the most massive engines in the universe.

In addition to his academic pursuits, Michael is a life-long educator. While at MIT, he tutored, TAed, and later lectured 8.02 and 8.022 (freshman electromagnetism). Here at Stanford, he TAed freshman Light and Heat in the fall, and is TAing modern physics this spring. He spends countless hours teaching for and later organizing ESP programs on all scales.
