Welcome to my academic site! See also: [my personal site](https://tom.ket.dev),
[my UO Blog](https://blogs.uoregon.edu/tgorordo)[.](https://titanic.caltech.edu/~tgorordo)

I'm a Physics PhD candidate/[Graduate Student](https://cas.uoregon.edu/directory/profiles/all/tgorordo) 
in the [Institute for Fundamental Science (IFS)](https://ifs.uoregon.edu/theory/)
at the University of Oregon working with [Graham Kribs](https://pages.uoregon.edu/kribs/).

I previously held a Research Assistant position at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL/LBL)
during 2020-2022, after finishing my undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2019.

This site is under-construction at the moment, so a lot of content is missing and links may not terminate correctly - be sure to check back later :)
