Mentor Areas
I work in theoretical high energy physics: The physics of the very small and very relativistic. The goals of my research are to understand the structures which undergird spacetime and matter.
Description:
The goal is to popularize some topics in particle physics/string theory through making a widely available video and/or interactive website.
Topics could include: Higgs mechanism in the Standard Model, T-duality in string theory, F-theory, etc.
Preferred Qualifications
Some background in producing videos/music as well as an interest in theoretical physics is preferred. A background in physics and math would obviously be helpful. Interest in popularizing science is also helpful.
