About Greg Courville
- This is my Science Hair.
Greg Courville is an aspiring mad scientist living in Santa Barbara, CA.
This page is rather bare of content at the moment. It's not at the top of my to-do list, but hopefully at some point I will have time to fill in more information here.
Contact information can be found here.
Random facts
- I currently attend the University of California, Santa Barbara and am pursuing a degree in physics from the College of Creative Studies.
- I hold a technician-class amateur radio license. My callsign is KG6SGY. As soon as I have some time to study, I plan to upgrade to a general-class license.
- I enjoy bicycling and geocaching. In the past, I took gymnastics for a few years, was on a swim team for a few more, and played water polo very briefly.
- I took several years of piano instruction, but stopped when I no longer had time to practice regularly.
- My hobbies include photography, multimedia production, software development, high-energy physics, and random wackiness.
- My preferred lab coat size is 42. 40 fits, but 42 is by far the cooler number.
History
