About Riley
I graduated with an M.S. in Physics from SMU and have six years of tutoring experience. As a former TA in modern physics labs, I developed the “Quantum & Cosmos” seminar series for undergraduates. I host monthly “Stargazing & Code Nights,” where I guide participants through real astrophysics datasets and teach them how to build simple simulation tools. My students appreciate my approachable style—I provide clear analogies, ongoing quiz feedback, and on-demand office hours to ensure they master every concept.

English
I introduce astrophysics through Python simulations of stellar orbits and exoplanet transit detection, reinforce quantitative physics with real-data modeling in MATLAB, review fundamental science topics like kinematics and wave phenomena, and unravel thermodynamics—entropy, Maxwell relations, and statistical ensembles—via interactive virtual labs. We also explore other science frontiers—semiconductor physics, quantum computing basics—through case studies and reading current research. Lessons blend conceptual lectures, coding tutorials, and lab demos to build both intuition and calculation skills.
