Evan Trommer — the URECA Researcher of the Month for September — is a senior majoring in physics and mathematics who has been exploring experimental plasma physics under the mentorship of Navid Vafaei-Najafabadi from the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He participated in the 2022 URECA summer program and presented a poster on “Probing the Electromagnetic Field Structure in Plasma Wakefields Using Relativistic Electrons” at the Summer Symposium on August 4. Trommer’s research project built on his extensive programming skills and his combined academic training in physics and mathematics, and has since led to analytical and numerical simulations that will soon be tested at the Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
