Hello there, space traveler! If you've landed on this page, you're probably curious about the person behind the pixels. My name is Thane and I'm an astrophysics student and researcher based somewhere in the great state of Pennsylvania.

I've been fascinated by space since a young age when my dad used to turn on Star Trek Voyager for me at night. I remember being mesmerized by the stars and planets on the screen, and asking him a million questions about them. That curiosity never went away, and eventually led me to pursue a career in physics and astronomy.

During my undergrad years, I had the incredible opportunity to work on a research project studying the morphology of AGN jets. It was like peering into the heart of a cosmic engine, and I was hooked! Later in my undergrad years, I started to mentor students in the same research group, and it was so rewarding to share my passion for astrophysics with them and help them discover the same joy of scientific discovery that I had experienced. When I am not in class or doing research, I have a few hobbies that keep me busy. I'm an avid photographer. I have a Nikon Z fc that I use to capture the beauty of the world, and I'm always on the lookout for new places to photograph as I am an avid traveler. I also love playing D&D with my friends. There's something magical about creating a story together and exploring imaginary worlds. I'm currently running a campaign for a group of 6 brave adventurers, and it's been a blast so far!
