Roberto Haubold

Roberto is a Physics student at University College London. Having been interested in STEM in high school, Roberto took on a broad range of courses in his freshman year of college, ultimately majoring in physics and minoring in physical chemistry. He’s currently planning to pursue a PhD after undergrad, and has had a few research experiences prior to his time as an REU at Boston University.

Generation, Transmission and Manipulation of Optical Skyrmions: Roberto worked in Siddharth Ramachandran’s lab, where his project focused on the generation and propagation of optical skyrmions in multimode fibers. His goal was to potentially improve communications and quantum technology, among other functional uses for skyrmions. He worked alongside graduate student mentor, Vineetha Ashok.

“The work was super interesting, and I had the chance to learn things that I could not have learned anywhere else. It was also really great to get to know everyone involved with the program!”
