In summer 2018, Abby Lee (C'19) did research at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University. Her research was on dark matter halo disruption and formation. Abby used high-resolution simulations to study features of halos over time in order to characterize and model dark matter substructure. Abby's research will be important in better understanding our own galaxy, the Milky Way, as well as for use in applications for gravitational lensing. Abby's favorite part was working in such a collaborative research environment and having so many opportunities to go to talks by world-famous physicists, such as one by Roger Penrose! She also enjoyed the perfect weather of the Bay Area, which is always a bonus.
