Sean McBride
I'm a sixth year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara. I study quantum gravity and string theory, but I am broadly interested in topics in black hole physics, conformal field theory, and condensed matter physics.
In the far-off past, I've done experimental work in accelerator physics, plasma physics, and chemistry.
