Hello, my name is Alexander Bjersér. I am a student here at SLU currently enrolled in the 3-2 program while also playing football. I was born in Sweden and grew up for most of my life right outside of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden located on the east coast. Other than English, I also speak Swedish and can understand Norwegian pretty well as well as make myself understood in Norwegian.
Haille Perkins '22 majors in Physics and Computer Science and is particularly interested in Computational Astrophysics. This interest led her to the research that she conducted with Dr. Aileen O'Donoghue in the summer of 2020 and 2021. A highlight of working with Dr. O'Donoghue was a trip to the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico where Haille learned more about the process used to observe radio emissions from galaxies. During this time, she was able to explore the types of work that occurs in the radio division of astronomy and hopes to experience other areas in the future.
Currently attending St. Lawrence University, co-president of the Society of Physics Students, physics teaching assistant, and member of the Outing Club, while pursuing a major in Computer Science and a minor in Physics. This summer I am taking a machine learning course while conducting research in Optical Physics and Computer Science.
