About

Andrew Bunch is a highly educated and experienced professional in the field of applied physics. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2009. Prior to that, he earned his B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies from the same university in 2004. After completing his education, Dr Bunch has worked as a Professor at Florida State College at Jacksonville, where he has taught courses in introductory physics to a diverse student body and has written two textbooks on the subject. Dr Bunch has also worked as an Independent Consultant, providing expertise and support to various companies and organizations including major textbook publishers and subcontractors to the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense. In his graduate studies, Dr Bunch focused on the mathematical modelling of surface dynamics in the nanoscale. Since then, his research interests have shifted to the fundamentals of physics and geometric algebra.
