My Journey as a PhysicistProf. Masazumi Honda (he/him)I am a Japanese physicist at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. I also love cats. Most of my papers so far are on theoretical side of high energy physics but I am recently working on hep-lat x quantum computation stuff. Regarding the hep-lat x quantum computation stuff, I love it because we have a chance to explore non-perturbative aspects of real time dynamics in quantum field theory. During COVID, I learned how to roast coffee beans by myself.

My Journey as a PhysicistDr. Evan WeinbergI am a compute performance developer technology engineer at NVIDIA. I also run frequently, focusing on training for marathons and ultramarathons. I perform in-depth analysis and optimization of software for both lattice QCD and molecular dynamics. I love the work that I do because I still get to be involved with the lattice research community and develop new collaborations with researchers involved in computational chemistry even though I've formally transitioned to industry. During COVID I couldn't go to my favorite cafes anymore, so I learned how to make pour-over coffee and have kept up the habit nearly every morning...2021-08-2027 min
My Journey as a PhysicistProf. Derek LeinweberI am a theoretical physicist fascinated by the complex phenomena that emerge from the fundamental quantum field theory of the strong interactions, QCD. As a Canadian, I did my PhD at McMaster University, toured the States via U Maryland, The Ohio State U and U Washington (Seattle) and settled here at the University of Adelaide. When I'm not playing with supercomputers, I'm playing guitar (most recently Bossa Nova) or playing drums in a Britpop band called Mode. Most recently, my research is focusing on the structure of the QCD ground-state fields that form the foundation of...2021-08-1341 min
My Journey as a PhysicistProf. Claudia Ratti"I am a theoretical nuclear/high energy physicist originally from Italy. I am interested in strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions of temperature and density. I use numerical simulations to solve Quantum Chromodynamics, the fundamental theory of strong interactions, and I compare my results to the experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider (CERN). In my free time I like playing the cello, working out, reading and baking. During the pandemic I had to give up another passion of mine: traveling. I hope I can start again soon!"

My Journey as a PhysicistProf. Sinéad Ryan"I am an Irish theoretical particle physicist interested in the properties of hadrons at zero and finite temperatures. I use numerical simulation, in a framework called Lattice QCD, to calculate the masses and widths of hadrons especially those containing charm and bottom quarks and to study their temperature dependence. This helps us to understand the nature of the strong nuclear force, one of the fundamental forces in nature. During covid while we were restricted to a 5km radius and travelling for work completely stopped I took up sea swimming and so far, I've kept it up throughout the year!"2021-07-2126 min
My Journey as a PhysicistDr. Sasa PrelovsekDr. Sasa Prelovsek is an associate professor at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her hobbies include making furniture, playing piano, sewing her own clothes, running and hiking among others. She calculates masses and decay times for various conventional and exotic particles made out of quarks using ab-initio lattice QCD. This has exciting implications for ongoing experiments, which are discovering a new interesting exotic hadron every few months. During Covid, she enjoyed a walk to a nearby hill every afternoon, accompanied by her husband and at least one of three kids.
