I'm August Friebolin, an undergraduate researcher at GW Jefferson Lab Group, pursuing a B.S. in Physics at The George Washington University. I design simulations to optimize two-photon exchange measurements, calibrate detectors, and collaborate with an international team to process results. I enjoy translating complex concepts into clear, actionable insights and applying technical skills to real experimental challenges. I'm passionate about physics education, science communication, and hands-on making. I lead workshops in the GW makerspace, mentor peers, and strive to share the excitement of research with a broad audience, from fellow students to local communities.
