I am a theoretical physics grad student at Harvard University, advised by Norman Yao. Currently I am designing ways to build unusual magnets atom-by-atom; I collaborate closely with Antoine Browaeys’ group at the University of Paris-Saclay. In the past I have also worked on the biophysics of melanoma cancer cell transitions, and on the solid state physics of some rather special crystals that can only exist in 6, 7, or 8 dimensional spaces. I graduated from Caltech with a B.S. in Physics in 2018, then began my PhD at U.C. Berkeley before our group transferred to Harvard in 2022.

My g.harvard.edu email is “mbintz,” and you can also find me on twitter @spurious_bows.
