Description

Season 1 Episode 1
Prof. Christopher Aubin (he/him/his) is an Associate Professor of Physics at Fordham University. He is the "Cooking in LQCD — Flavor physics on the lattice" Instructor for the INT Summer School on Problem Solving in Lattice QCD. 
"I am a gay physicist who loves (rescue) dogs and boardgames. A lot of my work is focused on analyzing systematic errors associated with lattice calculations as well as getting undergraduates involved in this research. I enjoy the ability to add to the body of knowledge in the world to assist even in the smallest way to understanding this universe just a little bit more. By teaching virtually I was able to spend six weeks with my family during the spring (the peak of the outbreak in NYC) during a difficult time when otherwise I couldn't have done so — while still not a great time, it was better because of COVID." 
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 1 features interviews with the 2021 INT Summer School on Problem Solving in Lattice QCD.

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!
