Gia Jadick
Graduation Year: 2026
Thesis: Spectral X-ray Imaging and Phase Retrieval
Advisor: Patrick La Riviere

I earned my B.S. in Physics and Political Science from Duke University in 2020 and began my Ph.D. studies at UChicago in 2021. I work with Dr. Patrick La Rivière, developing spectral x-ray phase-contrast imaging: an emerging technique for enhanced visualization of weakly absorptive structures. I am broadly interested in X-ray imaging, computed tomography, computational imaging, and inverse problems. Beyond physics, I also enjoy jazz music, reading speculative fiction, and learning new languages.
