S975: Deep Dive into Theoretical Physics: Quantum Fields and Strings in Splash Fall 2022 (Oct. 29, 2022)
Have you ever wanted to learn about quantum mechanics, field theory, relativity, and string theory? In this class, I will go over the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and relativity and how they play a role in cutting-edge theoretical physics at UC Berkeley and around the world.


S894: Become a Quantum Mechanic: From Quarks to the Higgs Boson in Splash Spring 2022 (Apr. 16 - Oct. 29, 2022)
Have you ever wondered what makes up the universe? What makes up matter? In this course, you will learn about the underlying physics behind our universe, the crazy particles that live around you like neutrinos or muons, and perhaps you will also gain inspiration to become a physics major! No experience in physics required, but interest in the subject is!


S898: Einstein's Theory of Relativity in Splash Spring 2022 (Apr. 16 - Oct. 29, 2022)
I remember being a kid and someone randomly telling me that $$E=mc^2$$, and I didn't really know how to react. Now most of my research and interests relies on that equation being true. If you want to learn about space, time, energy, black holes, and cool mind-blowing physics, come over! No knowledge required!
