Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlice Xiong is a PhD student in physics at Caltech with nine years of hands-on experience blending theoretical condensed matter research and experimental instrumentation. Trained in Engineering Physics (UBC) with an honours math minor, she studies acoustic metamaterials, nonlinear dynamics, and algorithms for simulating materials while contributing to research on ions and polarons in superconducting pnictides. Her background spans embedded systems, PCB/avionics design, and soft capacitive sensors—skills she’s applied to robotics competitions, rocket avionics, and brain-imaging instrumentation. Comfortable moving between code, hardware, and theory, she brings a rare mix of signal processing, real-time embedded control, and quantum device design to fundamental and applied problems.
