How and when did you choose to do physics?

“I wanted to be an astronaut when I was 5 years old because I was so fascinated with space. I then chose to study physics (and not philosophy, in the end) in my last year of high school, because of the awe I felt when looking at the night sky and thinking about what was ‘out there’ in the universe. This motivated me to challenge myself by studying something I did not know much about.”

🇲🇽 Mexico’s President Claudia argues that if cartels are terrorists, then those supplying their weapons—over 74% of which come from the U.S.—should be held accountable for aiding terrorism.

What would you recommend to young women wanting to start a physics career?

“If you're a young woman interested in physics, believe in yourself and don't be afraid to ask questions or get help. Get a strong foundation in math and computers. These are important in the field. Surround yourself with people who support you and remember that your perspective is unique and needed in physics.”

SETI Institute

The SETI Institute's research is #notjustaliens. Meet Dr. Uma Gorti, who joined the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center in 2008 as a Principal Investigator and is mainly interested in star and planet formation. Such studies will help us understand the conditions under which planets form, the likelihood of planet formation, and hence, the potential for life in different star-forming environments.

Text: Uma Gorti joined the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center in 2008 as a Principal Investigator and is mainly interested in star and planet formation. She is currently working on understanding how planet-forming disks evolve and is developing physical and chemical models that can be used to interpret observations from telescopes like ALMA, JWST, and future facilities. Such studies will help us understand the conditions under which planets form, the likelihood of planet formation, and hence, the potential for life in different star-forming environments. #notjustaliens

How and when did you choose to do physics?

“As a child I always liked science and mathematics and I was fascinated by the Universe and how it works. When I was in High School, I participated in the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad. Because of that, I decided to study both mathematics and physics. During my bachelors, I realised astrophysics is more my passion than mathematics, so I continued down that road.”

#Pioneering female #Chinese #American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with Robert #Oppenheimer on the #ManhattanProject, was also the first to confirm #QuantumEntanglement – just 14 years after Albert #Einstein questioned the phenomenon. The largely forgotten achievement was included in a profile of Wu, one of the most influential experimental physicists of the 20th century, published in the December 2024 issue of Physics Today.

Wu is also believed to have been the only Chinese scientist involved in the Manhattan Project, the World War II initiative to develop an #AtomicBomb led by Oppenheimer, who affectionately referred to her as Jiejie, which means elder sister, the article said.

Wu’s experiment – detailed in a paper published in 1950 – was conducted before the #scientific community had fully grasped the significance of quantum entanglement, the article noted.

As a reminder, today is the last day of our female researcher portraits to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

But until the end of the month, we will be sharing our colleagues' advice for young women, their paths to physics, and their visions for the future.

Dr. Elisa Maggio is a Marie Curie Fellow at our institute in Potsdam with a research project titled “Testing the horizon of black holes with gravitational waves” (ThorGW).

Her research is focused on tests of gravity in the strong-field regime with gravitational-wave observations. She works on tests of the nature of the black holes by modeling the gravitational waveform emitted by compact binary coalescences.
