Ian Carter

Biography

I am going into my 4th year at UW- River Falls where I am double majoring in (grad school track) Physics and Physics Education. This past year I was the UWRF SPS chapter treasurer and next year I will be the chapter president. I currently serve as a tutor for the introductory physics classes as well as a Wisconsin Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation mentor. I play division three college football for the UWRF football team. I have been active in research at UWRF in the field of optics and in condensed matter physics. This summer I am excited to say that I will be doing research at the University of Rochester as a part of their Optics REU program. My current career path involves graduating from UWRF and then becoming a high school physics teacher while I work on my masters in education.
