Mason Price
Mason Price
Mentor

Mason Price is a junior majoring in math and physics. He was previously a TA for the Intro Physics Labs 1 & 2, and he is currently doing research in a physics lab studying self-assembly of soft-matter systems (which has some surprising and interesting connections to math). In his free time, he is active in the robotics club, and he enjoys rock climbing, origami and reading. He is passionate about math and excited to get to know more people who might be interested, so please reach out with any questions about courses, activities, life on campus, or if you just want to chat!
