Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Physics doctoral student in the Faculty of Science

Tell us a little about yourself, including what inspires you to learn and continue in your chosen field

I am a first-year doctoral student interested in studying high-energy physics through neutrino interactions in outer space.

Why did you choose to come to SFU?

I came to Â鶹ÊÓƵto join the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE), an undersea neutrino telescope off the coast of Vancouver Island that is currently under construction.

How would you describe your research or your program to a family member?

I design and construct electronics for use in the P-ONE experiment.

What three (3) keywords would you use to describe your research?

Neutrino Physics, Electronics, Detector Physics

How have your courses, RA-ships, TA-ships, or non-academic school experiences contributed to your academic and/or professional development?

I strive to be leader in my community. Whether it's through designing and delivering curricula for physics outreach programs or participating in my physics grad association, I make it a goal to build and maintain community with my peers.

Have you been the recipient of any major or donor-funded awards? If so, please tell us which ones and a little about how the awards have impacted your studies and/or research

I've received the British Columbia Graduate Scholarship. This award has allowed me to uproot and relocate to be a part of the amazing P-ONE collaboration.
