Hello! I'm Nathan Saunders. Welcome to my site. Hopefully, it helps you make some progress today.
I currently tutor with New Horizon Tutoring and really enjoy it. Seeing the extra effort of my students pay off in the form of getting great standardized test scores and getting into the schools & programs of their choosing never disappoints! If you are interested in getting tutoring help, please start by checking out my Services & Practices page.
I currently teach at Bellevue University in both online and in-person introductory physics courses. Labs & experiments are definitely my favorite part of any physics course. When else do you get to use lasers, crash things together, or throw eggs at the ground (not all at once) with no consequences?! I also really enjoy showing students how modern-day technologies utilize physics understandings that we all take for granted in the classroom. Please check out the Courses content to see more about the classes I have instructed.
Besides being an instructor and tutor, I am also currently a copier technician & physics content creator, adding up to 3 part-time jobs and 1 full-time job as of March 2022. In college, I was always asked what I wanted to do with my physics degree, but could never decide. There was always so many options & so many interesting topics that I always felt slightly paralyzed by the choice. Now, it's led me a few steps down so many different paths! Here's a slightly outdated resume detailing some of those paths if you're interested or want a sample resume.
Some of my notable research interests:
Prospect of undoped inorganic crystals at 77 Kelvin for low-mass dark matter search at Spallation Neutron Source (Dr. Jing Liu is awesome, Thanks for everything Jing!)
Novel Scintillation Detector Development & Calibration (graduate, Master's Thesis)
Photomultiplier Tube Characterization at Cryogenic Temperatures (undergraduate)
An Introductory Survey of Radon Levels within the Vermillion Area (undergraduate)
