Julia Gonsky is a Panofsky Fellow working on the energy frontier at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. She completed her postdoc at Columbia and PhD at Harvard, both on the ATLAS experiment.
Emily Waterman is an Honours student at the University of Western Australia, working under Professor Michael Tobar in the Quantum Technologies and Dark Matter Research Lab to investigate a method detecting axions using a high-voltage capacitor.
Amrita is a PhD student at Swinburne University, working with Prof. Darren Croton and Prof. Karl Glazebrook. Her research area includes N-body simulation, semi-analytic galaxy model, and JWST. Using these numerical tools and observational data, Amrita wants to understand how galaxies form and why they are eventually called quit. She is also fascinated by AGNs, these incredible cosmic phenomena that play a significant role in shaping our Universe. Another question that haunts her is the possible candidate for Dark Matter particles; they're like the missing puzzle piece in our cosmic story. However, the evolution of the Universe is still a fun puzzle waiting to be solved!
