Prof. R. Sekhar Chivukula (he/his): Season 2 Episode 12

"I am a high energy experimental physicist, searching for new fundamental particles using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. My work is split between data analysis, where I focus on the application of novel machine learning methods such as anomaly detection to enhance our discovery potential, and detector development, namely upgrading the readout electronics for the liquid argon calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment. This variety means that in a single work day I can go from working hands-on with engineers on a printed circuit board setup, to testing training algorithm configurations, and end with a hundred-person meeting, and I am always energized by the fast pace gear shifts! This Snowmass process will bring together experts across these disparate activities and prepare recommendations on the future course of the field, and my role is to facilitate the participation of early career physicists in the conversation. Outside of physics, I enjoy mixed martial arts, skiing, and struggling to learn French."   My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her).

Prof. Marcelle Soares-Santos: Season 2 Episode 10

Season 2 Episode 9 I am a theoretical particle physicist, specializing in collider phenomenology, a theoretical branch that builds the bridge between theory and experimental observations. To explore new physics beyond the Standard Model, I formulate theoretical models and predict observables at colliders as well as at low energy experiments. The topics I have been interested in include Higgs boson physics, searching for dark matter, examining neutrino mass generation models. I closely collaborate with my colleagues in theory and experiments. Since 2019, I have been involved in organizing the community planning exercise, a.k.a. "Snowmass 2021", led by APS DPF. The particle physics  community comes together to identify fundamental questions in the field and the opportunities to address.  The Snowmass exercise is very important for our field in the next decay and beyond. The final community meeting will take place in July 17-26, 2022, at the University of Washington-Seattle.   https://www.physicsandastronomy.pitt.edu/people/tao-han My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her).

Season 2 Episode 7 I am an Asian-Indian American Physicist, who traveled from Gorakhpur, UP, India and finally settled in Providence, RI USA, with my German husband and two sons. I am passionate about cooking and organizing events which meld scientific concepts with arts and music. My research focuses on investigating the early universe moments after the Big Bang created in small and large particle colliders, by building  innovative scientific instruments (detectors) to explore and find  fundamental particles and their interactions, and through these experiments unravel mysteries such as the origin of matter, the types of matter in the universe and many more. I love my research, as it gives me a purpose, and gives me an  opportunity to forge an inclusive partnership with a diverse set of  researchers who help me connect with the  age-old quest of humankind to  understand where we come from, why we are here, and eventually visualize  the building blocks of our home, the universe! I am humbled to have been chosen as one of the leaders of the Energy  Frontier group of the broader Snowmass study to help formulate a  community wide vision to explore the TeV energy scale and beyond with  future collider options, which will define the landscape of experimental  opportunities over multiple decades [and late into this century]. https://vivo.brown.edu/display/mnarain  My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her).

My research is focused on the direct detection of particle dark matter with xenon time projection chambers and on the search for neutrinoless double beta decay with enriched germanium crystals operated in liquid argon. I love the fact that these rare-event searches pose formidable challenges to our detector technologies, requiring new detector prototypes that we must develop and test in the lab. I also enjoy working with many enthusiastic researches in our international  experimental collaborations.

Dr. Kate Scholberg: : Season 2 Episode 4

Season 2 Episode 3    I am an experimental collider physicist, who specializes on detector instrumentation, and I also love traveling, reading, movies, jigsaw puzzles, listening to live music and learning to play the piano. In the past I have been involved in the Higgs boson discovery, but now I specialize on designing and building silicon trackers and on  coordinating generic detector R&amp;D for the High Energy Physics community. I love my research, because it requires a lot of creativity, allows me  to learn something new every day, and leads me to work with a very diverse group of people, who are all extremely good at what they are doing. Snowmass turned out to be a lot of work at a very challenging time during the pandemic, but I feel it is important to help define and shape  the future of our field using my expertise in detector instrumentation.    My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her).

Dr. Petra Merkel (she/her): Season 2 Episode 3

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 sure to listen if you are interested in becoming a physicist too!

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 our searches for new physics. https://phys.washington.edu/people/gordon-watts Snowmass is a ~decadal study of the state of particle physics in the USA: the challenges it faces, and the direction its R&amp;D should take.

Dr. Evan Weinberg: Season 1 Episode 9

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 research is focusing on the structure of the QCD ground-state fields that form the foundation of matter. I love this area of research as the complex structures demand the use of advanced scientific data visualization techniques and the results are fascinating.   The loss of international student enrolments due to Covid-19 travel  restrictions has created a budget crisis at U Adelaide, requiring staff  to take unpaid leave.  I have seized this time to reflect on my career  and write a Doctor of Science thesis.  It's an interesting endeavour but ultimately enjoyable.   Link to Mode: https://p.facebook.com/modebandadelaide/ Link to data visualization: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkGEc28x8opg7TH4mmasAsg My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her).

Dr. Sasa Prelovsek: Season 1 Episode 5

Season 1 Episode 4  Dr. Zohreh Davoudi is an assistant professor at University of Maryland. She is the "Quantum Simulation" Instructor for the INT Summer School on Problem Solving in Lattice QCD.    "I am a theoretical physicist originally from Iran. In my free time, I enjoy reading political/social/cultural/medical commentaries. I also love fashion, design, and architecture. My research involves applying a range of theoretical and computational tools, from effective field theories and lattice QCD to classical and quantum computing to study the core of matter from the underlying Standard Model. I love my research since my theoretical-minded view of fundamental physics got expanded and deepened once I started figuring out how to "compute" nature from first principles — classically and quantum-mechanically! A year into the pandemic, I calculated that I gained 28 working days (= 8 hrs each) and reduced my carbon footprint by more than 3000 lbs by not having to commute to work!"    My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her).
