Hello All,

Starting this Thursday UDIP is hosting the Programming Help Sessions at 7:00pm-8:30pm in Broida 5223. Please come by to cover the following:

Develop an efficient coding workflow that prepares you for physics research, graduate school, or industry. In six 90-minute sessions, the PHS will teach productive programming practices in an informal setting, and produce a streamlined computing environment for file system navigation (bash), text editing (vim), numerical simulations (python), and report typesetting (LaTeX). All operating systems welcome (if using Windows 10, install Windows Subsystem for Linux before the meeting). All physics undergraduates welcome, especially freshmen/sophomore students that want to learn computing tools relevant for research.

If you would like a sneak peek of material, or miss a week's lesson, or want to follow along on your own? All PHS guides are self-contained and freely available at github.com/erijones/phs.

First meeting is this Thursday 10/18 at 7:00 pm in Broida 5223.
For questions email Eric at [email protected]

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY FOR UNDERREPRESENTED UNDERGRAD STUDENTS IN CONDENSED MATTER WITH DR. CENKE XU:

*****************************************
ABOUT THE RESEARCH:
In recent years condensed matter theory has become an extremely exciting field, and it starts to build connection with other fields such as high energy theory, gravity theory, and quantum information. My research group is interested in many subjects in condensed matter systems in the extreme quantum limit. Typical systems in this category include topological insulators, topological orders, high temperature superconductor, spin liquid, and also the most recently discovered strongly correlated superconductor in bilayer graphene.

WHO CAN APPLY:
The internship is for underrepresented undergraduate students, and it can start right away. The student can learn relevant background knowledge while working on the project.

INTERESTED?
Please contact Cenke Xu at [email protected] for more information on getting involved!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to vote! Attached you will find the WINNING DESIGN FOR OUR NEW T-SHIRTS! We will be selling them in a few weeks, so stay tuned for another post with more details on where and when we will be selling them.

If looking at potential designs has sparked your own creativity, start doodling your ideas, because we will also be holding a T-shirt Design Competition soon!

Lastly, if you are interested in getting involved with UDIP (Undergraduate Diversity and Inclusion in Physics) our new meeting time this quarter is Wednesdays from 6 to 7 PM on the 3rd floor Broida conference room. We will be providing FREE PIZZA to all who come!
