STUDENT MENTORING


I have supervised 6 udnergraduate students at Bard College, and 8 undergrads from MIT, Columbia University and Barnard College. In 2020-2021, I co-advised a PhD sutdent at MIT physics department. Previoudly I alco co-advised a graduate student visitng MIT. I am devoted to include students with a diverse cultural and educational backgrounds, especially historically underreprensented students, into my research projects. I enjoy working with these talented young women and men and inspired by their diverse points of view. And I am proud of their achivements: Field Rogers (MIT Physics PhD'22), Zhenlin Zhu (NJU'19),Alicia Canipe (Columbia'16) and Allen Cheng(MIT'19) have published papers with me on the Astrophysical Journal (ApJ); Nathalie Jones (Bard'21), Yan-pei Deng(Bard'21) and Grace Sanger-Johnson(Bard'23) presented their research at AAS annual conferences; Ben Hord has published one article on Nature. My group currently has open positions for postbac researchers. I welcome students of all backgrounds to contact me for research opportunities.
