Lauren is an astrophysics major who is in love with black holes, gravitational waves, and anything relativistic. She is currently working with Professor Reina Maruyama on the DM-Ice dark matter search in Antarctica, though in the past she worked at NASA Goddard and at Jefferson Lab. Lauren is also double-majoring in African American Studies, where she hopes to study the relationship between a scientist’s identity and their scientific work. She also first got involved with Women in Physics as a sophomore to help with the 2015 APS CUWiP, and is an undergraduate member of the Yale physics department’s Climate and Diversity Committee. In her free time, Lauren likes buying new earrings, taking long walks on the beach, and posing for pictures with homemade telescopes.
