Alex is building a High-Field Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer for the study of many-body, quantum materials. Alex was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. During his undergraduate degree at Ohio State, Alex worked with Dr. Rolando Valdes Aguilar on THz spectroscopy. In his free time, Alex plays board games, goes on runs, reads epic fantasy, makes short films, and volunteers for the 988 national suicide and crisis lifeline.

Born in Colombia and raised in Tampa, FL, Juan did their undergraduate studies in the Applied Physics program at NYU. In the Sherwin group,Juan works on studying nonlinear optical phenomena in materials via High-order sideband generation (HSG). At NYU, Juan worked with Kota Katsumi on building ultrafast Terahertz experiments, as well as on Quantum information theory with Rupak Chatterjee. Juan is passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive culture in physics, which they dedicate time towards via outreach and assisting in department events. For fun, they enjoy board games, hiking, video games such as BG3, Sea of Thieves, pokemon, and more, as well as enjoying art in all its forms (movies, shows, music, etc). Juan is a classically trained vocalist and violist, though these days that looks like belting theatre while taking measurements…

Johanna likes moving and understanding how things move. A dual German-American citizen, she grew up in Lincoln, NE building her own backyard roller coasters and self-teaching roller coaster physics. She completed her Physics Bachelors at Swarthmore College, where she performed research on modeling the biophysics of mouth opening in Hydra, a tubelike cnidarian that tears a hole in its facial tissue  to feed. Prior to her senior year she participated in an REU program where she spent a summer in Sherwin Lab and became passionate about the prospects of applying magnetic resonance techniques to “film” protein motion in real time. Right now she is most likely either bonding with a superconducting magnet, trying to conceptualize what on earth proteins are even doing according to biophysical and biochemical perspectives (thank you project collaborators and professors from the IQB program), tinkering on a special sample holder for the protein project, or else generating biometric data for further analysis across swim, run, bike and inline skate.
