Bio: Eesa Bajwa is a Physics major with a passion for advancing scientific discovery through research and education. Originally from Surrey, England, Eesa moved to Round Rock, Texas, at age 14 and joined Texas A&M's Class of 2028. After discovering a passion for physics during high school, Eesa decided to pursue a career as a professor, combining a love for teaching with a desire to contribute to scientific research.
Since beginning at Texas A&M, Eesa has been actively involved in undergraduate research and science outreach. Through the DEEP program, he has contributed to the development of physics demonstrations for the annual Physics and Engineering Festival, including work on a large-scale muon detector project. He has also collaborated on the development of a virtual calculus textbook, creating graphics, animations, and accessible materials to support student learning. Additionally, Eesa has participated in research involving particle physics, including projects focused on theoretical particle production, neutrino detector development, and the analysis of Higgs boson interactions. Through these experiences, Eesa has developed a strong appreciation for the connection between research, communication, and education.
