Aaron Parsons
I'm a professor of astrophysics at UC Berkeley and an active researcher in the subfield of radio astronomy. As part of research and teaching, I make videos covering a variety of relevant topics in astronomy, physics, electrical engineering, and computer science. I also wrote a novel: COHERENCE.
