Two recent grads will visit campus this Wednesday, April 19th, and they’d love to talk to students about things they’ve done in the last couple of years since they graduated. They’ll be in the 2nd Olin lounge from 3-4 pm with snacks, so stop by!
Geoffrey Mo ’19
I’m Geoffrey Mo (Physics ’19), and I’m currently a fourth-year grad student in the LIGO Lab at MIT. I’m interested in how we can use both gravitational waves and coincident emission of light to learn about our universe. I’m happy to talk about graduate school, what it’s like to do research full-time, MIT, transient astronomy and astrophysics, neutron star mergers and kilonovae, and really anything else.
Jack Heinzel ’21
I’m Jack Heinzel (Physics ‘21) and I study the population of compact binaries detected by gravitational wave detectors, and the Bayesian-statistical methods commonly used to characterize it. I’m a second-year PhD student in the LIGO lab at MIT. I’d be happy to talk about research, life in grad school, and the transition from Carleton.
