Hi, my name is Philip Kahn. I am a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley with a BA in Astrophysics. My Berkeley class list pretty much explains what I'm in to, as well as providing a reference document for what I am particularly trained in.

Currently, I do research for the Kepler Project and some independent work on sauropod biomechanics, both of which you can find more about in my research section. Additionally, I am beginning work with the Lawrence Hall of Science in revising and teaching a camp on evolution for 4^th-6^th graders.

For fun, I play the clarinet, am attempting to learn the piano, goof around on computers and the internet, play various obscure games, and code -- both for research purposes and for its own sake. I am a strong believer in open source, open content, and free distribution and attempt to make much of my work compatible with that ideal, as well as contribute to various "Wiki" projects.

Feel free to navigate the site to learn more about me.

This site was hand-coded with Notepad ++ and Emacs 22.1. All documents online have been prepared via L^aT_eX. Please pardon the rough edges -- the site is a work in progress.
