Description

Season 1 Episode 9

I am a compute performance developer technology engineer at NVIDIA. I also run frequently, focusing on training for marathons and ultramarathons. I perform in-depth analysis and optimization of software for both lattice QCD and molecular dynamics. I love the work that I do because I still get to be involved with the lattice research community and develop new collaborations with researchers involved in computational chemistry even though I've formally transitioned to industry. During COVID I couldn't go to my favorite cafes anymore, so I learned how to make pour-over coffee and have kept up the habit nearly every morning, ever-tuning my process for different coffee beans and roasts.  

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!
