Jacob Nie (Stanford)

Originally from the Bay Area, Jacob is a third year undergraduate studying physics. He has been doing research with 2D materials since 2021, working with Prof. Feng Wang at Berkeley and Prof. Chenhao Jin at UCSB. He is excited by how 2D materials can be used to both learn more about condensed matter physics and build next generation technologies. In his free time, Jacob likes to play and watch soccer, and he has supported FC Barcelona since his childhood.

Recommended Reading: My favorite textbook is also Principles of Quantum Mechanics by Shankar, and it is the only textbook I have studied cover to cover. I would have to say that it is the perfect introductory quantum mechanics textbook, as long as one is already good at linear algebra.
