Andria Tattersfield

Claremont McKenna College - USA

Bio: dri loves writing and performing spoken word poetry, drawing comics and looking for the connections between things. They are fascinated by rock climbing and farming but are still a beginner at both. dri grew up in Taipei, Taiwan before moving to Portland, Oregon for the second half of high school, and to Southern California for college. They are studying abroad in Tanzania for the spring 2019 semester, and are really excited to meet everyone!

University of California, Berkeley - USA

Bio: Hey everyone, I'm a sophomore at UC Berkeley, studying applied math and computer science. Some of my hobbies include board games/logic puzzles (fun fact: can solve a Rubiks cube in under 20 seconds), rock climbing, and camping/backpacking (I'm always up for a hike, and hear SFI has some nice trails nearby). I'm really looking forward to meeting and working with you all this summer!

Gülce Kardeş

{border}
Middle East Technical University - Turkey

Bio: I am Gülce, a junior from Turkey, studying physics at METU. My previous works include the modeling and simulation of everyday phenomena since I love to be challenged with the most cryptic faces of nature in seemingly simple cases. I am fascinated by the world and the brain as an occupant of both, thus, I have an appetite for a display of the physical underpinnings of perception. I enjoy hiking and playing interactive games in my free time. I love freshly roasted coffee beans and atonal sounds.

Brown University - USA

Bio: I am a junior at Brown studying Math-Physics, though my interests extend to the humanities and social sciences as well. I am interested in using my physics background to work on interesting interdisciplinary projects at SFI. Outside of my studies, I love to teach and am leaving a Spring gap semester teaching in Hanoi, Vietnam. I also love to perform music, play RPGs, go running, and build community wherever I go.

Zhijie Feng

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology - Hong Kong

Bio: I'm a third-year physics student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I'm passionate about statistical physics, condensed matter physics, and complex system. Fascinated by the topics related to randomness, I have previous research experience in random walk, spin models, and opinion dynamics. I also enjoy archery, choral singing, piano, arts, and design.
