Physics Resume
Current Status
Recent Physics graduate, obtained my B.S. in Physics with an emphasis on nuclear
physics. I am continuing to do research and am writing a paper that I wish to publish. I
worked with the UC Davis Nuclear physics group under Professor Manuel Calderon de
la Barca Sanchez, doing simulations of Z+jet events. Relevant coursework: numerical
analysis, analytical problem solving using computational methods, extensive problem
solving, abstract problem solving, and data analysis.
Career Goals
With a B.S. in Physics with an emphasis in nuclear/particle physics under my belt, I am
now taking 2 years off to work and to publish a paper. I am going to go back to graduate
school after my two year hiatus. Thereafter I will seek a job in research, whether that be
with a national laboratory, at a university or in private industry.
Education
2009­2012 Norco Community College (NCC), CA
Community college directly from high school, physics major with the intention to
transfer to a UC. Studied basic general education and math. Relevant
Coursework:: differential equations, linear algebra, calculus.
2010­2012 Riverside City College (RCC), CA
Attended RCC and NCC congruently: attending chemistry and calculus based
physics courses while employed part­time at two jobs. Studied fundamental
physics and chemistry i.e. classical mechanics, electromagnetism,
thermodynamics, optics and waves, 3 semesters of basic chemistry.
2012­2015 University of California, Davis
Studying physics with coursework and research.
Experience | Physics
Have completed over two years of research and continue to research with professor Manuel
Calderon and graduate students. Four research presentations: Undergraduate Research
Conference at UC Davis in 2013 and 2014, one being a poster and the other being an
powerpoint, also I have presented at the American Physical Society in 2013, a powerpoint, and
most recently went to the Division of Nuclear Physics Conference in Hawaii to present a poster
in late 2014. Computer programming for research and coursework, have used C, C++, ROOT,
Pythia, Fastjet, Labview, Arduinos, FPGA’s.
Experience | Tutoring
Tutored AP physics, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus I, AP Calculus II, Calculus, Physics,
Pre­algebra, Algebra, Algebra2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre­calculus, SAT, ACT, MCAT test
prep, also written syllabi, quizzes, tests, and lesson plans and labs. Been tutoring since 2012.

Work Resume
Current Status
Obtained Physics B.S., with my researching being on heavy­ion physics with the Nuclear
Physics Group at UC Davis.
Previous/Current Work
2009­2012 Albertsons, Corona CA
Albertsons is a grocery store in southern California similar to Safeway. I worked
as a Grocery Clerk/General Merchandise Clerk, cashier and bagger. Also worked
the forklift and unloaded trucks.
2012­present Tutoring, Davis California
Tutor for math and science.
2012­present Research, UC Davis
Analysis of Z+Jet collisions using simulations to study jet quenching.
2015­present Officemax
Sales consultant, work in the tech department, as a cashier and stocking shelves
temporary job, looking to replace.
Experience
● Tutoring for 3 years, I learned how to work with children and adults alike. Being able to
describe complicated concepts in multiple different ways is a very helpful skill when
working on a team and dealing with others.
● I have also done research with the Nuclear Physics Group for three years. Here I had to
learn all of the high energy particle physics jargon and work my way up the chain. This
experience was invaluable in multiple ways; one way is that there were no strict
deadlines so I had to learn how to be responsible and do work on my own schedule.
● Writen dozens of research updates, and been to four research conferences.
● Learned how to program and write complicated algorithms to simulate particle collisions.
● Wrote and optimized C++ code.
● Data analysis and debugging skills
● Used forklift frequently
● Know how to communicate and work with a team in any environment.

Miscellaneous
● During my time at community college, I helped create a club on campus called the Green
Health Club. We helped educate the campus of environmental issues and health issues.
We brought guest speakers and created other events like earth week. I was president for
a year and interclub council representative for 2 years, dealing with budget information
and meetings requesting funds and resources. GHC was also able to bring a campus
wide recycling program to Norco Community College.
● Written and presented effective powerpoints and posters in several different
environments, from casual to formal.
