ABOUT ME

I am currently an undergraduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology, majoring in physics. I am also part of the co-terminal Master's in Health Physics program and am considering persuing an additional major in astrophysics.

Outside of physics, my interests include music, philosophy, and creative writing. I have the wonderful opportunity to take classes at the neighboring VanderCook College of Music, and I've recently begun learning the French horn, an instrument I have a deep appreciation for. I am very involved in the Society of Physics Students, write regularly for the school newspaper, and created a creative writers' organization on campus.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at adetweiler{at}hawk.iit.edu.
