My Journey as a Physicist

Bryan Stanley & Huey-Wen Lin

What is life as a physicist is like? It is a little bit different for everyone. On each episode, a different physicist discusses their research, what got them interested in physics, obstacles they overcame, and what a typical day as a physicist looks like. They also provide tips and suggestions for students who may be interested in studying physics and becoming physicists. Physicists are people with lives outside of the lab too! Guests share about their interests and hobbies outside of research. Be

Dr. Benjamin Nachman (he/him): Season 2 Episode 5

My Journey as a Physicist ·

2022/06/13

Season 2 Episode 5 I am a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory physicist, and I also enjoy running and squirrel watching. I develop and deploy computational techniques to explore the fundamental and emergent properties of the strong force. Machine learning and other computational techniques build bridges between areas of physics and beyond. As a co-convener for the Computational Frontier at Snowmass, I'm excited to see Machine Learning and Quantum Computing emerge as themes in this year's

My Journey as a Physicist ·

2022/05/25

Season 2 Episode 1 I am an experimental particle physicist, and when I'm not doing that I'm trying to teach myself to take pictures and cook. My research is focused on searching for Hidden Sector extensions to the Standard Model, mostly by looking for evidence of long-lived massive particles. I love the opportunity that physics gives me to explore the internal workings of the world around me. I also have really enjoyed working on the computing aspects of the field - bringing more modern tools into

2021/08/27

Season 1 Episode 10 I am a Japanese physicist at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. I also love cats. Most of my papers so far are on theoretical side of high energy physics but I am recently working on hep-lat x quantum computation stuff. Regarding the hep-lat x quantum computation stuff, I love it because we have a chance to explore non-perturbative aspects of real time dynamics in quantum field theory. During COVID, I learned how to roast coffee beans by myself.

Dr. Evan Weinberg: Season 1 Episode 9

My Journey as a Physicist ·

2021/08/20

Season 1 Episode 9 I am a compute performance developer technology engineer at NVIDIA. I also run frequently, focusing on training for marathons and ultramarathons. I perform in-depth analysis and optimization of software for both lattice QCD and molecular dynamics. I love the work that I do because I still get to be involved with the lattice research community and develop new collaborations with researchers involved in computational chemistry even though I've formally transitioned to industry

Season 1 Episode 8 I am a theoretical physicist fascinated by the complex phenomena that emerge from the fundamental quantum field theory of the strong interactions, QCD.As a Canadian, I did my PhD at McMaster University, toured the States via U Maryland, The Ohio State U and U Washington (Seattle) and settled here at the University of Adelaide. When I'm not playing with supercomputers, I'm playing guitar (most recently Bossa Nova) or playing drums in a Britpop band called Mode. Most recently, my

Season 1 Episode 7 "I am a theoretical nuclear/high energy physicist originally from Italy. I am interested in strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions of temperature and density. I use numerical simulations to solve Quantum Chromodynamics, the fundamental theory of strong interactions, and I compare my results to the experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider (CERN). In my free time I like playing the cello, working out, reading and baking. During the pandemic I had to give up

Season 1 Episode 6 "I am an Irish theoretical particle physicist interested in the properties of hadrons at zero and finite temperatures. I use numerical simulation, in a framework called Lattice QCD, to calculate the masses and widths of hadrons especially those containing charm and bottom quarks and to study their temperature dependence. This helps us to understand the nature of the strong nuclear force, one of the fundamental forces in nature. During covid while we were restricted to a 5km
