Lots of different things! As a professor by job is a mixture of teaching Physics to students and doing research. In my research I’m trying to work out what dark matter is.
Live, play games, do awesome science, watch TV, do more awesome science, draw pictures, go hiking, DO MORE AWESOME SCIENCE…
.
More seriously, at work I test different parts of a laser, I create computer models/drawings to see how things might work before trying out in practice (what’s the point in trying if it won’t really work?), research stuff, work on the laser, learn stuff, do some programming… it really varies form day to day, which makes it so much fun!
I study meteorites that have landed on Earth as these are the only way we can get our hands on samples of other asteroids and planets. By comparing all the different planets and asteroids and finding out what they are made of, I try and work out how the solar system and all the planets formed billions of years ago. I love space and trying to discover new things out there.
