Holden I Kowitt

I am a second-year undergraduate student at UC Berkeley majoring in Physics. I work with Professor Chiara Salemi, where I use simulations to design low temperature circuits for use in single photon counting detectors with applications in Axion dark matter detection and Neutrino detection. Previously I was part of a condensed matter physics lab at Stanford which studied graphene heterostructures, where I designed a long-term solution to an optical microscopy issue and introduced anodic oxidation etching of monolayer graphenes. I am interested in continuing research in particle and nuclear physics. Outside of physics I have been deeply involved in the Boy Scouts growing up. I also enjoy volleyball, baking, scuba diving, video games, and anything aquatic!
