Physics

Academic physics, from spherical harmonics to quarks.

Lab reports from Physics 103 at Los Angeles City College, written with my lab group across Fall 2025: standing waves on a sphere, an experimental Hubble constant, beta decay against simulated data, and scattering as a window into quarks. Every report is here in full.
