My name is Colin Myers and I am a Junior at Millersville University (PA) pursuing a B.S. in Physics and a B.S. in Mathematics. I plan on applying to a PhD program in condensed matter physics. I have had a strong interest in physics since high school which has only grown since my enrollment in college. I quickly discovered how challenging this field is, but also how incredibly rewarding it can be. My research interests include solid state physics, electronics, thermal physics, and quantum theory.

The SPS has had a major impact on my college career. SPS has been crucial towards connecting my peers and I with other physics students as well as outreach opportunities. The collaboration the organization inspires is an incredible asset to the physics community. Additional thanks to the physics and math faculty of Millersville for preparing me for this experience.

Outside of physics, I am an avid musician. I am passionate about music, movies, and many other forms of art! And more than anything, I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to intern at the National Institute of Standards and Technology!
