Why are you interested in physics?\u00a0 Are there any topics within the field that most draw your attention?<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I am most interested in Quantum Optics, Low temperature Physics, and Condensed Matter physics. I became interested in physics because I have always wanted to know “how things work”, and when you ask “How does this work” a few times in a row for any problem you find you need Quantum Mechanics! Studying physics has been a deeply rewarding (albeit challenging) experience for me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I love cooking, reading, rock climbing, and Disc Golf. When I have important projects due: I find I am incredibly interested in video games and other procrastination methods.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":22372,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3258"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22372"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3263,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3258\/revisions\/3263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
