<h1> Course Staff </h1><h3>Yen-Jie Lee</h3><p><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-none" src="https://prod-discovery.edx-cdn.org/media/people/profile_images/87fe5008-a9a5-4180-972a-f7f1875a7bc0-5341b00f4239.jpeg" width="110" height="110" alt="Peter Dourmashkin" title="Peter Dourmashkin" align="left" hspace="15"/>Yen-Jie Lee completed his undergraduate degree and Master's in Physics at the National Taiwan University and his doctoral work at MIT in 2011 under the supervision of Wit Busza. After postdoctoral work at the Laboratory for Nuclear Science at MIT, he completed a combined CERN and Marie Curie Fellowship at CERN from 2012 to 2013. He joined the MIT Physics faculty in September 2013. He served as one of the Heavy Ion Physics Group co-conveners in the CMS collaboration from 2014 to 2016. Since 2016, he has been appointed as heavy-ion physics executive board representative in the CMS collaboration.<br/>
Prof. Lee received an Early Career Research Award from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2015, an NEC Corporation Fund Award from the MIT Research Support Committee, and a Sloan Research Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 2016. He was promoted to Associate Professor of Physics in 2018.

He also works with introductory physics courses at MIT, most recently creating and running in-class experiments. Alex is interested in physics education research and developing effective ways for students to interactively engage with content, for instance through hands-on experiments or simulations. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Boston College working on plasmonics.

His research work involves collisions of very high energy atomic nuclei. The goal of these studies is to understand the behavior of systems of sub-atomic constituents (quarks and gluons) at extremely high temperatures and densities. His most recent experiments use the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He has decades of experience teaching physics at MIT, including many different versions of 8.02.<br/><b>edX User Name: gsfs </b></p><h3>Michelle Tomasik</h3><p><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-none" src="https://prod-discovery.edx-cdn.org/media/people/profile_images/f318ff9e-7ae7-4386-81de-30c31d7931b6-bca0ec353f09.jpg" width="110" height="110" alt="Michelle Tomasik" title="Michelle Tomasik" align="left" hspace="15"/>Michelle Tomasik is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at MIT where she currently works on developing online classes and assists with physics education research and teaching introductory physics. She received her Ph.D. in physics from MIT working on photovoltaics and density functional theory.<br/><b>edX User Name: mirt14 </b></p>
