My name is Stephanie Howell, and I am a junior physics student at the University of Colorado Denver. My undergraduate career began at Red Rocks Community College where I was initially a computer science major. After my first semester, I decided I wanted to deal with more tactile things and changed to being a physics major. I worked part-time all throughout my associate degree and graduated in December of 2021 with an Associate of Science with a Physics Designation. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to transfer to finish my bachelor's degree until late 2021 when I decided on the University of Colorado Denver. I began working in the Superconducting QUantum Interference Device lab (SQUID) as a Research Assistant in March of 2022. My primary work there involves programming a graphical user interface for a data acquisition system. I am also the Vice President of CU Denver’s Physics Identity and Expression (PIE) club where we offer a space to underrepresented groups within the physics community and foster community outreach and engagement. My current path at CU Denver Physics has me graduating in spring of 2024 and I plan to pursue a PhD program in computer information science.
