SPS Officers
Presidency
Hello, I'm Vibhu Ravindran (vibhu.ravindran "at" berkeley.edu), a fourth year majoring in math and physics and I'll be one of the vice presidents of SPS this year. My research is currently in condensed matter theory. When I'm not staring blankly into space you can find me playing the violin, hiking or watching movies (of all genres). Feel free to say hi if you see me around!
Hi! I am Pablo, (pcastano "at" berkeley.edu) a 4th year doing physics and (maybe) astrophysics. I do research in quantum gravity models/string theory, and also look for the axion as a dark matter candidate. In my free time, I like to read, party, play sports, and listen to music. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
Long live the rulers.
Vice-Presidency
Hi, I'm Michelle (mid "at" berkeley.edu) (Jing) Dong (she/her). I'm a junior majoring in Physics and Math and I am researching in High Energy Physics Theory and Mathematical Physics, or, specifically, (topological) quantum field theory and string theory. Beyond academics, I love to do different dances and I have done Cal Ballroom, AFX, swing, salsa and bachata, and contemporary dance here. I like watching musicals and want to find some friends to go watching musicals together, and I play Electric Organ. I have been doing a lot of hot yoga recently as well. Say hi to me if you see me!!! : D
The firm right-hand of the club.
Treasurer
Rainer Reczek (rainer "at" berkeley.edu) the treasurer of sps, moolah manager, money lord, etc.
You can count on him to give his two cents at any cost.
Outreach
Troy Tsubota (tktsubota "at" berkeley.edu) I like to get people excited about physics!
In the name of education, this brave soul sends emails to people over and over again until they respond. Truly a noble hero.
Equity and Inclusion Chair
Hey y’all! I’m Kenny (kenneth.ng "at" berkeley.edu) and I’m a third year majoring in Physics and Applied Math (with a minor in Public Policy). I’m currently doing research in experimental condensed matter physics but I’m also interested in AMO and other areas of applied physics. If I’m not crying in the physics building you’ll probably see me in Eshleman or driving somewhere dangerously fast. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or if you just wanna talk! :)
Lack of uploaf.
Webmasters
Hello! I'm Adarsh Iyer (adarshiyer "at" berkeley.edu). I am a third year Physics and Math double major. As webmaster, I'll be rewriting the SPS website. If I can somehow finish a problem set on time, I'll probably be playing piano, listening to classical music, reading textbooks, or doing pointless thought experiments. See you around!
Like a spider does a fly, they put SPS on the web.
Seminar Chairs
Hey, I am Zhicheng Li (zhichengli "at" berkeley.edu) a senior physics major researching quantum phenomena in condensed matter systems. I race bikes and enjoy all sort of outdoor activities.
Lack of uploaf.
Certifiably the diplomats of SPS—wars have been waged and fought over the last slice of pizza.
Grillmasters
Lack of uploaf.
Before you can fill your brain, you must first fill your stomach. The only people in miles who can competently do tech support on a grill.
Projects
Hi, I’m Jennifer (jennifer-zhao "at" berkeley.edu)! I’m a physics + CS double major and amateur graphic designer. I also do robotics research! 🤖 Feel free to reach out if you want to chat :)
Lack of uploaf.
They can build you up and break you down.
Competitions Coordinator
Sanjit Shirol (sanjit13 "at" berkeley.edu) I am a human being!!!!! Definitely not an artificial intelligence hahahaha. YES NO MAYBE SO??!?
Lack of uploaf.
Media Chair
Hi, I'm Brandon Park (redpercy381 "at" berkeley.edu). Colloquially known as Brandon #2, I handle all things media for SPS (including Instagram, posters, and merch)! I'm currently a third year physics major, and I make rockets for fun. Also, hmu if you play piano or golf :)
