Maren Adnee maren.adnee@yale.edu University of Maine	I am interested in the development of experimental and analytical methods that can untangle complex interactions to reveal underlying patterns, especially as applied to correlated systems and emergent phenomena in condensed matter physics. Prior to beginning my career in physics, I lived in the Kansai region of Japan.
Zach Muraskin zach.muraskin@yale.edu Carnegie Mellon University	Experimental Particle Physics, Neutrinos I enjoy sending things to the Moon! Attempt two is scheduled for late 2025.
Bradyn Quintard bradyn.quintard@yale.edu Dartmouth College	I am interested in experimental particle physics across a range of topics such as QCD and the Quark-Gluon Plasma, neutrinos, and dark matter searches. I am particularly interested in detector physics as it relates to these ongoing projects. I once played trumpet at the Sydney Opera House!
Rohit Raut rohit.raut@yale.edu Yale University	Neutrinos and Dark Matter Searches, Experimental Particle Physics
Xulei Sun xulei.sun@yale.edu University of Science and Technology of China	Astrophysics, Particle Physics
Anna-Lydia Vieli acv42@yale.edu ETH Zurich	I’m passionate about non-Hermitian physics, because of its ability to describe realistic physical systems, and yet exhibit surprising physical phenomena. I’m also interested in quantum many-body physics, quantum optics and optomechanics. I like feeling no gravity.
Pengpeng Xiao p.xiao@yale.edu Fudan University	I’m interested in using machine learning to accelerate physics simulation and discovery. On the other hand, I’m also exploring how to embed physics into machine learning models enhance them. I enjoy hiking, biking and spending time in nature. I’m actively looking for friends to hike and explore great food afterwards.
