Description

Season 1 Episode 6

"I am an Irish theoretical particle physicist interested in the properties of hadrons at zero and finite temperatures. I use numerical simulation, in a framework called Lattice QCD, to calculate the masses and widths of hadrons especially those containing charm and bottom quarks and to study their temperature dependence. This helps us to understand the nature of the strong nuclear force, one of the fundamental forces in nature. During covid while we were restricted to a 5km radius and travelling for work completely stopped I took up sea swimming and so far, I've kept it up throughout the year!"

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!
