User:SPat

Hi!

I'm a graduate student of physics at the University of California, Berkeley - although I'm originally from India. My areas of academic interest include strongly correlated materials, phase transitions and optical techniques in condensed matter physics. My wikipedia-work includes physics-related articles but also spans across a much broader area, including universities, cinema, literature, India among others. In particular, I am interested in and have previously worked on articles related to history, law and politics of the United States.

My other accounts: SPat (on en.wikibooks), Schrodu (good faith, unused sock-puppet).

Milestones:

1000th edit (creation)

2000th edit (creation)

3000th edit (cleanup)

I am (attempting to be) active in the Bay Area Wikipedia community.
