Samantha C Simon
I am passionate about the intersection between condensed matter physics and network science. I have been working at the Complex Systems Lab led by Dr. Danielle Bassett since my senior year of high school. I am wrapping up a project showing the links between intellectual and demographic diversity for neuroscience faculty. Currently, I am exploring how the contact forces on particles in granular materials evolve under stress. I am also part of a team investigating gender imbalances in physics reference lists. Outside of my research, I am the club lacrosse team president and a volunteer tutor through Moelis Access Science.
