Student Spotlight: Pavel Maksimov

Pavel Maksimov is a recent graduate of the Department of Physics and Astronomy who studied condensed matter physics, specifically “frustrated” magnets. He decided to study this topic when his advisor, Professor Sasha Chernyshev, suggested it to him. A lot of the calculations can be done analytically, which is something that Pavel was drawn to. He…Continue Reading Student Spotlight: Pavel Maksimov

Student Spotlight: Rebecca Riley

Rebecca Riley is a 2nd year graduate student studying theoretical particle physics. She hopes to study quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the strong force, and their applications to nuclear physics. She is also interested in understanding dark matter and dark energy, as well as the identity of intrinsic quantum properties like spin and color. Once she obtains…Continue Reading Student Spotlight: Rebecca Riley
