Description

Season 1 Episode 5

Dr. Sasa Prelovsek is an associate professor at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her hobbies include making furniture, playing piano, sewing her own clothes, running and hiking among others. She calculates masses and decay times for various conventional and exotic particles made out of quarks using ab-initio lattice QCD. This has exciting implications for ongoing experiments, which are discovering a new interesting exotic hadron every few months. During Covid, she enjoyed a walk to a nearby hill every afternoon, accompanied by her husband and at least one of three kids.  

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!
