Michael Rodriguez

Michael Rodriguez graduated magna cum laude from the City College of New York with a B.S. in Physics. During his time there, he privately tutored many lower-classmen in introductory Physics and Math courses as well as conducted cosmological research at an REU at the University of New Mexico. After graduating, Michael went on to pursue more research opportunities at Columbia University where he was a scholar at the Bridge to the PhD program. There, he pursued his interest in cosmology, studying the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect and attending graduate level courses. He has recently submitted a research paper outlining his results. Michael wishes to share his passion for Math and Physics by helping students succeed in their academic goals. He hopes to patiently and intuitively teach how interesting and thought provoking these subjects can be. Michael also has a love for music. He enjoys playing the piano and his favorite composer is Claude Debussy.
