Faculty Sponsor: Brian Stewart Inesh Vytheswaran I am a computer science major, pursuing a minor in physics and IDEAS here at Wesleyan. I am from Wellelsy, MA, and currently live in Avon, CT. Going into possibly my final semester, I am super excited to take classes on digital learning, applied linear algebra, and multiple hand … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Francis W. Starr Owen Dunton Owen is a physics and math major, and a member of Computational Materials Science Research Group where he studies the phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST). His first project was the development of an efficient and accurate machine-learned interatomic potential for GST, which he now uses to provide atomistic insight … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Tsampikos Kottos Live Poster Session: Zoom Link Abstract: We design a wavefront shaping protocol which maximizes the electromagnetic forces acting at a specific location in an arbitrary complex scattering medium. Our approach utilizes appropriate physical operators, that rely on the measured scattering matrix, whose eigenvectors can be used for the design of wavefronts … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Brian Stewart Isaac Moss Isaac Moss is a rising junior from Baltimore, MD, and Chicago, IL. At Wesleyan, they are double majoring in Physics and FGSS, with a minor in religion. In her spare time, she runs WILDWes, Wesleyan’s permaculture garden, works at Long Lane Farm, and hosts radio shows with WESU. She … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Greg Voth Cristina Gonzalez Cristina Gonzalez is a rising junior (’25) from Venezuela pursuing a Computer Science and Music double major and a former student at Venezuela’s national conservatory Simon Bolivar. Apart from her major classes, she is interested in learning about Physics, Math, Data Analysis, and Digital Art. Beyond academics, she is … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Brian Stewart Mathis Blanc Mathis is a rising Sophomore from Los Altos, California. He graduated from Los Altos High School in 2022. He is majoring in Physics and Mathematics and pursuing physics past graduation. Outside of academics, Mathis is a goalkeeper on the Wesleyan men’s Soccer team. Abstract: Although atom-diatom collisions are an … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Greg Voth Abstract: In a fluid mechanics lab, it is often the case that a particle’s movement through fluid must be studied in minute detail. Our lab records videos of 3D-printed particles moving in a high-volume tank of water with four high-speed cameras, and we aim to examine their motion by determining the … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Meng-ju Renee Sher Live Poster Session: Zoom Link Abstract: Silicon (Si) semiconductors has been used in a broad range of fields including photodetection devices and solar cells. Nevertheless, intrinsic Si solar cells can only absorb light with wavelengths shorter than near-infrared wavelengths. Adding deep level impurities into intrinsic Si will help facilitate electron … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Tsampikos Kottos, Physics Department Live Poster Session: Zoom Link Abstract: We develop computational tools for the design of electromagnetic waveform shaping protocols with enhanced capabilities to target electronic elements embedded inside complex enclosures. Existing schemes require linear scattering conditions and rely on wave interference effects that are generated when monochromatic radiation is injected … Read more
