Manjistha Lakhotia

Manjistha Lakhotia is a senior at Barnard College majoring in Physics and minoring in Dance. They are interested in using dance and movement to bridge the educational gap in theoretical maths and physics, as well as using physics to enhance dance education. They are hoping to expand current research in these two areas that focuses mostly on ballet into more accessible movement forms. Through their project, they’re hoping to bridge the gap between physics/math and art to bring back the focus of physics research back to that of the general public, rather than purely militaristic gain.
