Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRef Bari is a multidisciplinary physicist and AI researcher with 11 years of experience bridging theoretical astrophysics, space instrumentation, and machine learning. Currently a Binary Black Hole Researcher at Brown University funded by an NSF Neural DynAMO grant, he applies non-equilibrium thermodynamics to characterize gravitational-wave dissipation and leads the T-REX team aiming to capture the first-ever video of a black hole as a NASA NIAC-finalist PI. He has hands-on experience building deep learning models for quantum spin qubit control and computational-chemistry analyses of Hycean exoplanet habitability, demonstrating fluency across simulation, data-driven control, and mission-scale systems. A CCNY BS physics graduate (3.95 GPA) now pursuing an MS at Brown, Ref combines rigorous analytical training with practical leadership mentoring student teams across Brown and Columbia. Notably, his portfolio spans both lab-scale AI for quantum devices and ambitious spaceflight instrumentation, signaling an uncommon blend of microscopic control and macroscopic discovery.
