Summary
Jason Wong is a PhD student and Graduate Student Instructor at UC Berkeley specializing in theoretical and mathematical physics with nine years of research and teaching experience. He combines deep high-energy theory work—using anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking to probe chiral gauge dynamics—with hands-on machine-learning for particle physics, having developed Lorentz-equivariant graph models for jet data and GNN-based jet tagging. At Berkeley he teaches introductory physics labs and discussion sections, tutors quantum mechanics, and mentors undergraduates on computational relativity projects like Kerr and Schwarzschild simulations. His background spans astrophysical modeling of X-ray pulsars and black hole emission to modern collider ML, giving him a rare blend of analytic theory, numerical simulation, and applied ML. Based in Berkeley, he brings both pedagogical skill and a track record of translating theoretical problems into computational tools for experimental and simulation data.
