<p>Dr. Zohreh Davoudi is an assistant professor at University of Maryland. She is the "Quantum Simulation" Instructor for the INT Summer School on Problem Solving in Lattice QCD. &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><em>"I am a theoretical physicist originally from Iran. In my free time, I enjoy reading political/social/cultural/medical commentaries. I also love fashion, design, and architecture. My research involves applying a range of theoretical and computational tools, from effective field theories and lattice QCD to classical and quantum computing to study the core of matter from the underlying Standard Model. I love my research since my theoretical-minded view of fundamental physics got expanded and deepened once I started figuring out how to "compute" nature from first principles — classically and quantum-mechanically! A year into the pandemic, I calculated that I gained 28 working days (= 8 hrs each) and reduced my carbon footprint by more than 3000 lbs by not having to commute to work!" &nbsp;</em></p> <p><br></p> <p>My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student <a href="https://perl.natsci.msu.edu/people/graduate-students/bryan-stanley/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bryan Stanley</a> (he/him/his) and Prof. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.pa.msu.edu%2Fpeople%2Fhwlin%2F&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNHKpswHb14HhBLArZNZxdgSumIxoA" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Huey-Wen Lin</a> (she/her).
