Saurav Bastola

Either we live complacent among the universe, or we try to understand it. I like to do both but am most passionate about trying to understand the universe.

I am most passionate about particle physics and building the apparatus for such things. I also love astronomy, and love studying the theory behind it.

I plan to complete a Ph.D. and publish my album. I want to be a rapper and a physicist.

Earlier this summer, I was working on the di-Higgs research as part of the ATLAS group at SLAC. I specifically studied the decay scheme of the di-Higgs decaying into two bottom quarks and two tau leptons. Now, I am on the DUNE experiment.

I am very grateful for receiving this scholarship. I am able to pay off my housing and tuition bills and focus solely on my academics and research without the stress of financial burden.
