I am Mischa Batelaan, a postdoctoral researcher at the College of William and Mary. My research is focused on hadron spectroscopy in lattice QCD. Outside of research I like to spend my time cycling and running, I also enjoy playing around with computers and technology.
Introduction
- I completed my PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Adelaide in 2023 under the supervision of Professor James Zanotti and Associate Professor Ross Young.
- I received my honours degree in Bachelors of Science in High Performance Computational Physics from the University of Adelaide in 2018. My thesis title was “Nucleon Form Factor Calculations using the Feynman-Hellmann method”
