Originally from the DC area, Andrea Carosso received a B.Sc. in Physics and a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Delaware, followed by a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2020. His research focused on new methods for extracting large-scale physical properties from computer simulations of quantum field theories — theories of elementary particles such as QCD (“quantum chromodynamics”), which describes the interaction of quarks and gluons (the constituents of protons and neutrons). He was then a postdoctoral researcher nearby at the George Washington University for three years, working to address the problem of reformulating theories like QCD to be suitable for simulation on quantum computers. Recently, he has turned primarily toward teaching and has taught several introductory courses at GWU this past year.
