Chris Choi

Hi there 👋​

  • 🏫 I am an undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in physics, minoring in mathematics. I have been advised by Prof. Tina Kahniashvili in theoretical cosmology, and Prof. Roy Briere in experimental particle physics.
  • 🔭 I am currently interested in theoretical cosmology, specifically alternative theories of gravity in the purview of gravitational waves. I use computational and numerical methods to look at the consequences of these theories in real world data.
  • 🌱 I love working on open source projects in my spare time. I use my skills to make it easier to set up systems in arch linux. I also like discovering new aspects about data by generating interesting statistics in the field of cubing, music, linguistics, anime, and more.
  • 📚 I love reading hard sci-fi (Greg Egan, Liu Cixin, Neal Stephenson, Issac Asimov, Olaf Stapledon) and speculative fiction (Ted Chiang, CM Kosemen) (my Goodreads account), cycling (my Strava account), and watching Japanese animation (my MAL account)
  • 🎶 I love listening to music, especially the genre of prog rock and prog metal. I really enjoy retro prog rock from Sweden (Moon Safari, A.C.T., Kaipa, Karmakanic, Brighteye Brison), and I transcribe scores in my free time (my Musescore account)
  • 🧊 I am a competitive speedcuber (my WCA profile is 2016CHOI01); an all-rounder but I particularly enjoy doing FTO, clock, 3x3, big cubes, 3BLD, and megaminx
  • 💬 Ask me about massive gravity, NANOGrav, gravitational waves, general relativity
  • 📫 How to reach me: Personal email, Academic email, Facebook, or Instagram.
