About Me
Alex George
I am an
undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Physics and
Mathematics with a minor in Chemistry.
At Pitt, I am a member of the High-Energy Physics research group, led by
Dr. Dytman,
Dr. Paolone,
and Dr. Naples. Our group is building and testing equipment
for the MINERvA project at Fermilab, and
(eventually) adapting those electronics for the T2K project in Japan. My contribution is with the building and
testing of the light injection system, which will be used to calibrate the
light detection mechanisms (the photo multiplying tubes).
When not in
class or in the lab, I am vice-president of Pitt’s Math Club and I enjoy doing
very dorky things such as preparing for the physics GRE and reading books by Richard Feynman.
