Seifert

Gabi grew up in Minnesota, and graduated summa cum laude in 2023 from Scripps College, where she studied physics and German. As an undergraduate, she worked in a whole variety of areas of physics—including tracking motility patterns of single-celled organism Stentor coeruleus during regeneration and using models of E. coli networks to predict functions as complex as video before building an optical tweezers setup her senior year and accidentally falling in love with optics. Gabi is now a graduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder and works in the KM group developing laser systems. Outside of physics, she spends most of her time drawing (mostly chickens), reading (possibly overdue) library books, building websites from scratch, playing DND, and causing problems in general.
