Easter Sunday Service

The Great Collaboration

What does it look like to truly be as one as the body of Christ, to know how to need each other, work together and do something greater together? The world is already wrestling to find answers to racism, political division, and xenophobia. But only God can give those answers which must be revealed through His church. This online conference is a pursuit to discover what God means by many nations, tribes and tongues building His kingdom as one.

Dr. Neil Shenvi

Dr Neil Shenvi grew up in Delaware and attended Princeton University as an undergraduate where he worked on high-dimensional function approximation with Professor Herschel Rabitz. He became a Christian in Berkeley, CA where he did his PhD in Theoretical Chemistry at UC – Berkeley with Professor Birgitta Whaley. The subject of his PhD dissertation was quantum computation, including topics in quantum random walks, cavity quantum electrodynamics, spin physics, and the N-representability problem. From 2005-2010, he worked as a postdoctoral associate with Prof. John Tully at Yale where he did research into nonadiabatic dynamics, electron transfer, and surface science. He moved down to Durham in 2010 to do research into nonadiabatic dynamics and electronic structure theory with professor Weitao Yang at Duke University.

Dr. Neil Shenvi has more than 35 publications. A few days after arriving in Durham, he had a seizure caused by an undiagnosed 5cm brain tumor between his cerebellum and occipital lobe.  By God’s grace, the emergency surgery was a success and he has been healthy ever since.

In 2015, he quit his job at Duke to homeschool his four children, although he still fiddles with quantum mechanics now and then for fun.  In addition to his duties as the principal of the South Durham Academy for Math and Science (also known as Daddy Academy), he tutor the Master’s class at their local Classical Conversations homeschool co-op.

In The Great Collaboration, Dr. Neil Shenvi tackles the question: Do the issues of the day coincide with our beliefs as Christians?
