About
Graduation year: 2027
Major and Minor: Physics and Math double major
Commonwealth Honors College
Name of the Scholarship: Goldwater scholarship
Period of the Scholarship: Next academic year
Country: US
My main research project so far has been in theoretical physics, where I've computed scattering amplitudes which are useful for gravitational wave detectors. I combined two common methods together in a new way to compute my group's first five-particle scattering amplitude involving massive particles and gravitons. I hope to continue studying theoretical physics in a PhD program, and I believe the Goldwater Scholarship will help me stand out as a potential candidate. I am also grateful for the financial support it will provide in my last year as an undergraduate.
