Johnny grew up in Southeastern Massachusetts and graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Physics in 2024. As an undergraduate, he worked on projects in coherent diffractive imaging and tomography using synchrotron x-ray light sources. His current research interests focus on the applications of table-top extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray high harmonic sources for imaging and critical dimension metrology.

Sarah is from Burlington, Vermont, where she attended the University of Vermont and graduated in 2025 in the Honors College with dual degrees in Physics and Mathematics. Her undergraduate honors thesis focused on the behavior of light in optical microcavities, specifically strongly coupled exciton-photon polaritons and their effect on cavity resonance.
