==== About me ====

[{{ :wiki:johnbrooks.jpg?nolink&200 | John Brooks}}]

I am passionate about studying the world through the lens of science, space-technology, and sharing my I learn with others.  In my pursuit of these, I have earned degrees in engineering, physics and math, worked 4 years in industry for several aerospace startups, and just recently organized and lead the 2018 Columbia Space Initiative SatComms summer project to talk with an astronaut on the ISS with a home-built satellite ground station. Presently, I am a 4th year PhD student in the Applied Physics and Applied Math department studying plasma physics.  I spend most of my time working on my research, distracted by side projects, and in the delightful company of my wife and our two cats.
