<p><em>"I am an Irish theoretical particle physicist interested in the properties of hadrons at zero and finite temperatures. I use numerical simulation, in a framework called Lattice QCD, to calculate the masses and widths of hadrons especially those containing charm and bottom quarks and to study their temperature dependence. This helps us to understand the nature of the strong nuclear force, one of the fundamental forces in nature. During covid while we were restricted to a 5km radius and travelling for work completely stopped I took up sea swimming and so far, I've kept it up throughout the year!"</em></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student </strong><a href="https://perl.natsci.msu.edu/people/graduate-students/bryan-stanley/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bryan Stanley</a><strong> (he/him/his) and Prof. </strong><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><strong> (she/her).
