Chuck Witt is a Ph.D. candidate studying the physics of materials within Prof. Emily Carter’s research group. Originally from central Pennsylvania, he holds degrees from Grove City College and the University of Virginia, and has also worked as a research technician at Harvard University. His current work explores quantum mechanical phenomena in large systems; the goal is to develop new theories and computational techniques for answering interesting questions in materials science. Away from the office, he enjoys most any outdoor activity, but especially soccer, hiking, and skiing.
