Meet our reps!
Piper Wysocki
Quantum Info.; 2nd year
Email: pwysocki@unm.edu
Piper works with the Quantum Performance Lab at Sandia. She is interested in characterizing error sources in quantum computers, particularly in the context of fault-tolerance.
Astronomy; 3rd year
Email: skarmakar@unm.edu
​
Soumyodipta is interested in dark matter, astrophysics, cosmological simulations. Currently, he is trying to build a semi-analytic model for milky-way satellite population to probe dark matter physics on small astrophysical scales.
Co-presidents
Secretary
Mallory Harris
Astronomy; 5th year
​
Treasurer
Ian Birdwell
Astronomy; 4th year
​
​
Ian is researching the detectors which enable observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), as well as external factors which affect their performance.
Technology Officer
Quantum Info.; 3rd year
Juan is interested in characterization of quantum computers through the automation of selecting reduced statistical models
Communications Officer
Grant Block
Magmology; 3rd year
Grant is using and developing computer models to study how magma flowing deep underground deforms the crust in ways we can measure on the surface. He uses these models to try to understand the mechanics and evolution of volcanic systems.
Shane Li
Astronomy; 2nd year
​
Shane is interested in theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity.
Srinidhi Pawar
Quantum Info.; 1st year
​
Srinidhi is interested in quantum simulation and many-body physics.
