9 Lab tour

10 Graduate student panel

Benjamin Ryan Roberts
PhD student at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, working on ATLAS experiment to measure the coupling between the top quark and the Higgs boson using machine learning methods to identify collisions with rare processes.

Kehang Bai
PhD student at University of Oregon and visiting Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, working on ATLAS experiment to find evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry and dark matter

Ashwin Singh
PhD student at UC Berkeley working on experiment using one of the world's highest power continuous lasers to trap molecules. General purpose molecular trapping could pave the way to new ways of understanding the physics of molecules and how they react.

Noah Sailer
PhD student at UC Berkeley working in cosmology and in particular how we can use the large datasets from instruments like DESI and the CMB stage 4 experiments to measure large scale structure in the universe.
