 Avi Kaufman avi.kaufman@yale.edu University of Iowa |
Research Interests My research interests lie at the intersection of quantum computing, quantum information science, and computational physics.
About Me Something interesting about me is that I am a competitive Minesweeper player ranked 217th in the United States and 1839th worldwide on Minesweeper Online. I am hoping to crack the top 1000 this year. I am also training for a full Ironman triathlon. I grew up with competitive swimming, running, and a few childhood triathlons, so this feels like the ultimate athletic goal for me. When I am not working or training, I am usually watching the NBA, cheering for the San Antonio Spurs, or watching anime, with Solo Leveling as my favorite.

 Darshan Lakshminarayanan darshan.lakshminarayanan@yale.edu Rutgers University |
Research Interests I am interested in high energy particle physics experiment. Particularly, I am looking forward to being a part of the Yale ATLAS team, searching for interesting physics from the high-speed collisions at the LHC. About Me Volleyball is one of my favorite things to do outside of physics, and I’ve spent over 10 years of my life playing it!
