Who am I

Hi all, I’m Orisvaldo (I often go by Oris) and I am currently a first year PhD student at UW-Madison’s Physics Department. Once I am in a research group you will be able to read a lot about it here, but for now if you want to see which classes I am taking, you can check the classes page.

Previously

I did my undergraduate studies at MIT (Class of 2023), B.S. in Physics with minors in Astronomy and Mathematics.

After that I worked at MIT’s Physics Department as a Technical Instructor for MIT’s Junior Lab, where physics majors get their Experimental Physics classes. I was also, broadly, part of the Physics Education Group at MIT, which means I had at times helped out in classes beyond Junior Lab

In addition to Physics and teaching, I am a big enjoyer of music. When at MIT, I was part of an a cappella group called Toons. I have arranged a few songs and performed a few time. Check out more in the music and arts page. There you will find a link to my astrophotography too!

This website is still under construction. I have my original website for when I was working at MIT. Publications and Talks pages are not up yet but you can check mine in my CV.
