Department: Physics Faculty Adviser: Aviram Uri Year of Study: G1 Undergraduate School: Northeastern University Undergraduate Major: Physics and Mathematics/Philosophy
Hello! My name is Emily and I am a G1 in the Physics department. I spent my undergrad studying Physics, Math, and Philosophy at Northeastern University in Boston while researching in a group at MIT doing condensed matter experiment. I ve continued to research the same material in my graduate studies and I m excited to explore new quantum phenomena! I grew up just outside New York City, but I loved my last four years in Boston. I even got to spend my first semester of college studying in Dublin, Ireland as a student in Northeastern's N.U.in program. I m very excited to be here at Princeton and join such a tight knit community enjoying the beautiful walking and biking trails. Outside of studies I like to bake, cook, and take my cat Furby for a walk!
A fun fact about me is that I grew up riding horses and my retired horse had a baby April 2025! So I have a 20 year old horse and a 1 year old horse right now :)
I research in the Uri lab doing condensed matter experiment. My research takes everyday pencil lead, graphite, and examines its superconducting properties at the nanoscale! Using an instrument called SQUID-on-tip, we use a superconducting tip to scan across the surface of specially crafted graphene based electronic devices. This tip can sense the tiny magnetic fields emerging from graphene. These devices have been heavily studied in recent years because they exhibit unique superconducting properties in a pure carbon based material. Digging into the tiny magnetic fields they exert can answer big questions about the type of superconductor that exists in graphene. Starting with fabrication, then using a scanning-probe measurement, we will explore such mysteries.
Interested in participating in Summer 2027 ReMatch+ program.
