SueYeon Chung is an Assistant Professor of Physics and of Applied Mathematics and an Institute Investigator at the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence and the Center for Brain Science. She came to Harvard from the Center...

Xing Fan specializes in searching for physics beyond the Standard Model through precision measurements using ion traps and molecules.

Fan will be working on electron and positron Penning ion traps for matter-antimatter symmetry tests and axion searches...

Stefan Knirck is an experimentalist searching for axion dark matter using novel detectors. Axion dark matter searches are at the intersection between fundamental particle physics, astrophysics, photonics, and quantum sensing.

An axion is a hypothetical...

Sunghan Ro's research area is the statistical physics of soft and living matter, in and out of equilibrium. Recently, he has focused on studying collective phenomena in active matter, which consists of units driven out of equilibrium at the individual...

Jordan Cotler received his BS in physics and mathematics from MIT in 2015, and his PhD in physics from Stanford in 2020. He was then a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows until becoming an Assistant Professor in 2024. Cotler specializes in the...

Sonia Paban is a high-energy theorist currently working on early universe physics. She is interested in understanding the effects of many active fields during inflation. Most recently, she has studied the robustness of inflation to inhomogeneous initial...

Eslam Khalaf is a condensed matter theorist working mostly on theoretical problems motivated by experiments. His work addresses questions in the physics of disorder, topological insulators and semimetals, mechanisms for superconductivity in multi-layer...
