Description

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 Snowmass!  
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 is edited by Varalee Sakorikar.  
Season 2 consists of members of the Particle Physics Community Planning Exercise known as Snowmass.

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!
