Hi, I'm Nicholas Rui, I'm a physics and astrophysics double major at Berkeley and also an incoming NSF Fellow to the California Institute of Technology in physics. My website can be found at [nicholasrui.com], and I can be contacted at [1].
During my time at Berkeley, I have worked on a number of research projects:
- The reduction of a proper motion catalog of the Quintuplet catalog and analysis of its structure (with Jessica Lu, UCB Astronomy) [2]
- Various experimental projects broadly related to quantum sensing using the nitrogen-vacancy and silicon-vacancy centers in diamond (with Norman Yao, UCB Physics)
- Identification of globular clusters with models on a recent large model grid (with Fred Rasio, NU Astronomy)
Some other stuff I liked to do:
- Hang out with the Society of Physics Students. This turned out to be my major friend group and support structure at Berkeley.
- Teach DeCals. I co-taught the Python DeCal twice after taking it freshman year, and afterwards co-founded a DeCal called the Beginner's Guide to the Universe, where we qualitatively described interesting physics concepts to non-majors.
My course schedule throughout the years has been as follows:
| Fall | Spring | Summer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freshman | Mathematics 53* Physics 7A* Breadth Breadth |
Astronomy 7B Astronomy 98 (Python DeCal) Physics 5B* Physics 5BL* Physics 49* Physics 89* |
Breadth |
| Sophomore | Mathematics 110 Physics 5C* Physics 5CL* Breadth Breadth |
Astronomy 198 (Python DeCal) Physics 110A* Physics 137A* Physics 151 Physics C161* |
Physics 111A* |
| Junior | Astronomy C249* Physics 105* Physics 129* Physics 137B* |

where an asterisk (*) indicates that a course was a "non-negotiable" major requirement (electives are not counted here), and a pound (#) refers to DeCal teaching credit.
