Abstract
David Coss was born in Monroe, Michigan and lived in Columbia, Tennessee for ten years. In December 2004, he received a B.A. degree in Physics and German from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. During that time, he spent a year in Germany at the Technische Universität - Dresden as an exchange student in the department of Physics. He completed a M.S. degree in Physics in May 2007 at the University of Missouri - St. Louis. On April 9, 2010, he will be defending a dissertation on the effects of substructure and shape variations of dark matter halos on the weak lensing properties of galaxy clusters.
