She is passionate about teaching, mentorship, and making STEM a place where all students feel comfortable and excited to learn. In her spare time, Emily enjoys training her pet parrot and puppy.

Sara (she/her) is a second-year PhD student working on optofluidics in Juliet Gopinath's lab. She's originally from California and in her free time enjoys baking, rock climbing, hiking and swimming.

Maeve (she/her) is a fifth-year graduate student in the physics department. Her hobbies are: working with linux, cuddling with her girlfriends, and watching Youtube. She is a co-instructor for CU-Prime's Autumn 2023 PHYS 1400 course.

Tate (he/him) is in his second year as an undergraduate physics major. He took PHYS 1400 in 2022 and now is excited to share his experiences as a co-instructor!

Tyler (he/him) is a sixth-year physics PhD student. He was an instructor for PHYS 1400 in both 2019 and 2021, and he has been helping run CU-Prime’s talk series since pre-pandemic times. Tyler’s originally from Ohio, and in his free time he can be found playing piano, harpsichord, or organ at his church.

Tyler works with Andrew Hamilton in JILA studying quantum effects inside black holes.

Wes (he/him) is a fourth-year graduate student simulating ultra cold ion crystals in a penning trap. When not in front of the computer, he can be found hiking or biking. Born and raised in Arizona, he'll be happy to suggest trips / destinations around the southwest.

Diment (Jingchen) Yuan (he/him) is an international student from Shenzhen, China. He is in his third year at CU Boulder. He developed an interest in physics in middle school through reading The Brief History of Time and is currently majoring in physics and math. Diment loves to play music, from classical violin to rock'n roll electric guitar. His goal is to be able to do research on theoretical physics going into a PhD program.
