Academic Biography
Harrison graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Physics. He was awarded the William E. Stephens prize for physics, which is given "annually to the graduating physics major who has demonstrated ... the most promise for a successful career as a scientist." Harrison did not formally begin tutoring until the spring of 2004. During the final two and a half years of his undergraduate work, Harrison tutored undergraduate physics ranging from introductory Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism to Quantum Mechanics. In 2006 he was awarded the Distinguished Tutor Award which was awarded based on feedback from the students. Harrison is currently a second year graduate student in the Applied Physics Ph.D. program at the Harvard University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
