    • Hey folks! My name is Vimal and I’m a senior from Chennai, India, deeply interested in exploring the mysteries of physical and abstract worlds through Physics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. If I’m not doing this, I’m probably playing the bass or some other instrument, watching and studying film, reading, bowling or petting animals. I have a great passion for listening so if you want to tell me about your interests or if there’s anything I might be able to help you with, please reach out to me!

    Assalamu alaykum (peace upon you), I’m Jasmine (she/they), a junior from Miami, Florida. When I’m not obsessively confronting my Self via problem sets, you can find me well-caffeinated scribbling in a notebook somewhere about waveforms. In my free time, besides research or outreach, I study and paint Afroasiatic poetry, dialects, and landscapes. I also like trees and wavelengths of most sizes. If there’s anything I can help you with, or if you want to get involved with SPS, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Email: jaselm@ad.unc.edu

    • Salut! I’m Ashleigh (she/her). I’m a sophomore from Morrisville, NC. When I’m not on in Phillips being a physics student, I enjoy hiking, traveling, making Spotify playlists and sketching pretty buildings in the margins of my notebooks. Please reach out if you have any questions at all– but I especially love to talk to people about math, French, the great outdoors, pathways for students after undergrad, and traveling/studying abroad as a physics student.

    Hi everyone, my name is Rob Sternquist. I am the SPS Room Manager for the 23-24 year. I am from Cary, NC. I am really passionate about learning math and physics and helping other people enjoy it as much as I do. In that I also really like helping people out in math/physics both tutoring or just in general interests. I’m almost always in the SPS room in the evening, so stop by if you want to chat, or if you want to catch dinner at the dining hall sometime hit me up! Email: rsternquist@unc.edu

    Hello Everyone! My name is Logan, but all of my friends call me Log! I’m a senior from Leland, NC and I love death metal, playing the bass, unnecessarily difficult video games, space, amateur radio, and probably many other things! I also like meeting and talking to new people, so feel free to reach out to me if you have questions  or just want to talk.  I almost always have a MTG deck on me too, just in case anyone is brave enough to challenge me. I’m super excited  to meet everyone this year!
