Condensed matter physics research.
This is only extenuated when the only reaction caused to scientists comes when their funding is pulled. The trump administration is a symptom, of a much larger problem.

There is a large moral disparity in science, and it’s exasperated by the fact majority of scientists are privileged/disassociated from the real world.

Science is filled with disingenuous people living in bubbles of their own design. It’s also filled with people who like to pop bubbles. Being in between them can be very stressful

There are always a million excuses not to do something. Rarely are they valid, or at least, they’re temporary.

If you want to do something, then shut up and do it.

My advisor got me a cool mug with my paper abstract on it :)

What’s your current research on? What’s your favorite past research you’ve done?

We are all just so absorbed with our own small bubbles, deriving many conclusions, that are completely devoid of reality. A complete disconnect of the empathy and the supposed object of that empathy. Sad.

How my thesis is going as I prepare for a Ph.D

I took a break from my thesis to go get some plants with my love :)

Grateful I was able to present my research at the Materials and Applications for Quantum Technologies conference this week. I got to speak in depth about my research to many talented physicists and materials scientists.

Most interactions and accounts on here seem rather artificial.

Applying to graduate schools is unnecessarily expensive.. seems like they’re trying to keep a specific class out..

First new-paper post on 🦋- next one in the collaboration with the great Mahesh Gangishetty.

Another example of how important spacer cations in 2D #perovskites are for carrier dynamics... Mn doping leads to very different results switching out PEA with BA!

Interstitial and substitutional doping of Mn2+ in 2D PEA2PbBr4 and BA2PbBr4 perovskites
Mn2+ doping imposes intriguing optoelectronic properties on lead-halide perovskites; however, its impact on their crystal structure remains unclear. This study investigates the consequences of interst...

I’m going to be honest I didn’t use Twitter, and do not fully understand how this works 😂
