About Me
My name is Travis Nichols and I am an undergraduate physics major and math minor from California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo, interested in lasers, plasmas, and accelerator physics. I am an experimentalist to my core, and I love being in the lab, pressing buttons, flipping switches, and turning knobs. There is something I find uniquely satisfying about the troubleshooting process of experimental physics, and being at SLAC was a wonderful opportunity for me to gain valuable experience and confirm my passion for this field. I was fortunate enough to be an intern at SLAC in the summer of 2023 where I worked primarily with Robert Ariniello and Spencer Gessner on alignment diagnostics and characterizations for the lithium Ionizing Bessel laser used in sector 20 of the linac for PWFA experiments.
