Simone A. Hyater-Adams, a doctoralÌýstudent in the ATLAS Institute at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ, is a researcher in physics education. She graduated with a bachelor's degreeÌýin physics from Hampton University and spent a year and a half as aÌýresearcher at NASA. With a passion for creating more opportunities for black students, Simone uses her personal experiences to guide her interdisciplinary research on identity in physics to attract underrepresented populations to STEM. More specifically, she investigates how a student develops a like or dislike of physics, and ways that the performing arts and digital media can be used to attract underrepresented students to the field. In addition to developing a theory to conceptualize the connections of racial identity and physics identity, she develops and facilitates diversity workshops and is involved in several student organizations focused on cultivating a more inclusive and equitable campus.ÌýHer advisors areÌýNoah Finkelstein, a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ professor of physics, andÌýandÌýKathleen Hinko, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Michigan State University.
