 Carlotta Casi carlotta.casi@yale.edu Utrecht University/Nikhef |
My interests lie in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), effective field theories, and their application to precision calculations for collider physics. My aim is to improve the accuracy of theoretical predictions for high-energy scattering processes to better test our models of fundamental interactions. When I’m not studying, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with my friends. |

 William Chang william.chang@yale.edu University of California, Los Angeles |
Computational Cosmology / Particle Astrophysics My previous experience involves characterizing extrasolar planetary systems and circumstellar disks with spectropolarimetry. My current research interests lie in the instrumentation and computational work for dark matter searches and cosmological modeling. Topics include exploring physics-informed machine learning methods for astrophysical fluid dynamics, modeling the morphology of AGN accretion discs with convolutional neural networks, and developing Rydberg-atom-based single-photon detector in searching for WIMPs and axions.
I LOVE to take naps. Power naps, recovery naps, coffee naps. When I’m not solving physics problems, you can find me napping in the Good Life Center Nap Room. Or, I may be swimming, singing in chorales, listening to Jpop, or gone for random roadtrips. |

 Yu Fu y.fu@yale.edu University of Illinois Urbana Champaign |
I am interested in how robust biological functions emerge from noisy molecular-level interactions. I am now thinking about things related to membrane curvature. I am passionate about sleeping, drinking, and climbing. I am actively looking for some climbing buddies and drinking friends. |

 Milan Gemaljevic milan.gemaljevic@yale.edu University of Belgrade |
My research interests lie in experimental AMO physics. During my internship at the Austrian Academy of Sciences I worked on developing a platform for experiments in macroscopic quantum physics. I am also interested in topological physics, which was the focus of my master thesis at the University of Belgrade. I have been playing the guitar for more than fifteen years and it’s my favourite past time. In addition to that, I also love cooking and hiking. Besides physics, I am also interested in economics and I used to work in finance before starting grad school. |

 Brian Gitahi brian.gitahi@yale.edu Princeton University |
I am interested in biophysics, specifically computational neuroscience including topics like statistical physics of neural systems, information theory and machine learning. My aim is to work on the investigation of general principles underlying human cognition. On weekends you will likely find me at The Canon watching Arsenal, my favourite football team. |
|
 Jay Graves jay.graves@yale.edu Morehouse College |
I am interested in quantum information and computation, specifically quantum error correction. I also have an interest in quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography. In my free time, I like to skateboard, watch movies and TV shows, and go to the gym. |

 Baichuan He baichuan.he@yale.edu Tsinghua University |
Theoretical biophysics. I am interested in biophysics. I have done some work on cell dewetting and force transduction in cells. I am willing to make friends with you. |
|
 Lukas Kienesberger lukas.kienesberger@yale.edu University of Munich (LMU) |
My previous projects have been on precision bounds in optical measurements and the complexity of numerical methods in quantum chemistry. Currently, I am interested in fundamental bounds in nano-optics, and how the basic laws of wave physics can be recast to improve and understand the limits of optical devices. When I am not doing physics, I enjoy watching movies, reading, and spending time in nature. |

 Siddhant Mehrotra siddhant.mehrotra@yale.edu Stony Brook University |
I am interested in particle physics experiment, precision measurements, and beyond SM physics. I enjoy visiting national parks, exploring book stores, watching weird movies, and trying new recipes. |
|
 Siddharth Mukherjee siddharth.mukherjee@yale.edu University of California, Santa Barbara |
I’m interested in pretty much anything related to Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics. I love going to arcades, watching TV shows, and trying out new food! |
|
 Alan Nguyen alan.nguyen@yale.edu University of Waterloo |
I am broadly interested in large scale structure cosmology. My current work involves developing robust techniques for the next generation of galaxy redshift surveys. This includes modelling systematics and building statistical tools for use across the field. Outside of physics, I spend a good amount of time playing piano and guitar. I also like trying new restaurants and cooking great food at home. |

 Daniel Qenani daniel.qenani@yale.edu Brown University |
I am interested in quantum information and anomaly detection in high-energy physics. In my free time, I enjoy surfing and hiking. |
|
 Aidan Wilber-Gauthier aidan.wilber-gauthier@yale.edu University of Michigan |
I’m interested in topics in quantum information theory, ranging from quantum error correction to quantum algorithms and simulation. Outside of academics and research, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and being with friends. |
