Rohit Raj

I am a junior at Juniata College, majoring in physics. My academic journey was enriched by a study abroad experience at the University of Leeds, UK, where I took advanced courses and gained diverse educational perspectives. My research interests encompass particle physics, quantum field theory, and cosmology, which I am refining through coursework and mentorship. With three research internships completed, I am currently immersed in an astronomy project. Additionally, I have a passion for computing projects, exploring simulations from globular cluster evolution to quantum computing algorithms. As an active member of the Juniata chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS), I engage in outreach events, sharing the wonders of physics with local schools and communities. I am committed to fostering scientific literacy and equity in STEM education, collaborating on initiatives like CREST (Creating Equity in STEAM) to organize outreach events in remote areas. Hailing from a remote village in India, I deeply appreciate the transformative power of education and strive to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of science and education, locally and globally.
