ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½

My name is Sophia C. W. Gottlieb I, and I am an aspiring physicist from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College, class of 2017. I am very enthused about physics and the department we have here at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. With the guidance of Professor Diamond-Stanic, I completed my senior thesis in April of 2017, which involved using three filter images of 12 galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, and finding out what that information can tell us about those galaxies. As a founding member of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Astrophysics Galaxy Evolution Lab, affectionately called the Bagel, I take a lot of pride in the work I do. To find more out about my research, .

As a student, I was involved in our physics department as a PALS leader for our introductory classes, a tutor, and a Student Manager for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™ Academic Resource Commons (basically, I was a super tutor)! I met with students from a wide variety of physics classes.

I accepted an offer to stay at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ through the fall to continue researching these 12 special galaxy, with a goal of publishing this research and attending the  in January.

I spend my free time doodling, so if science jokes are up your alley, .
