Name: Katie Thai
Student quote: “My time at LBNL has exposed me to the many challenges and triumphs of modern physics research and has only enhanced my desire to pursue a career in the research field. The variety of skill sets required, from programming to hardware to theory, makes it feel like anyone can have a place here and contribute to the project, and I find that very welcoming. Such variety also allows me the opportunity to learn from people from different backgrounds and encourages me to build connections with them”
