Prof. Haiyan Gao (she/her): Season 3 Episode 12

I am a Chinese-American physicist, and I love gardening, cooking, walking and music. I have joint appointments between Brookhaven National Lab and Duke University. I am an experimentalist, who uses electrons and photons as microscopes to look deeper and deeper inside protons and neutrons, which are the building blocks of atomic nuclei, to advance our understanding about the structure of visible matter. While visible matter is only several percent of our universe, we, humans are made of visible matter. I am fascinated by the fact that I am studying myself and that gives me great joy. This is the second time I served on the Long-Range Plan Writing Committee. www.tunl.duke.edu/~mep My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student ⁠Bryan Stanley⁠ (he/him/his) and Prof. ⁠Huey-Wen Lin⁠ (she/her). Season 3 is hosted by PhD student Bill Good and edited by Kiran Sakorikar. Season 3 consists of members of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee Long Range Plan.
