Hi, I’m Dr. Andrew James Steinmetz! Welcome to my personal website where I share my projects, blogs, and research in physics. I’m a Global Professor in the Department of Physics at The University of Arizona, with a role at the Arizona College of Technology at the Hebei University of Technology in Tianjin, China. My work focuses on ⚛ quantum mechanics, 🌌 cosmology, and 🧲 electromagnetism.
