Hi there, this is Nadie. I am a Physics major in the College of Creative Studies at University of California, Santa Barbara. I am mostly interested in high energy physics and gravity.
I am also learning for my Private Pilot License. You can find me at yiluo_li[at]ucsb.edu |

UCSB SPS Journal Club
We are starting a physics journal club in the UCSB Society of Physics Students! Some topics/paper that I want to present/have presented:

Winter 2020
I was juror at the USIYPT this year. They had some amazing presentations that explored the chatter ring, lava lamp, impact craters, and Henry's rotor motor. |

Winter 2020
I continue to explore black hole info paradox. I am also working on materials related to QFT in curved space, in addition to continuing the effort in learning GR and QFT. Dr. Suvrat Raju's class on black hole info paradox is something I am following. |
Fall 2020
I was exploring topics in high energy astro. I wrote a term paper on accretion disk. I was also trying to start understanding the latest breakthrough in black hole information paradox. The pre-conference tutorial from Island Hopping 2020 was quite very helpful. |

Summer 2020
I organized UCSB Physics department's annual Undergraduate Physics Research Symposium. Usually it is held at KITP, but this year was over Zoom. You can find videos on KITP website. |
Summer 2020
I had a chance to finish Tong's quantum field theory lecture notes, Schwichtenberg's Physics from Symmetry, and Dirac's General Theory of Relativity. I was also re-reading Zee's QFT. |
