At Smith, she has pursued her passion for fundamental research through both theoretical explorations in quantum mechanics and experimental work in atomic physics. In the summer of 2025, she worked with Dr. Irene Zoi at USCMS Fermilab, where she conducted an analysis of vector boson scattering as a probe of Higgs physics, deepening her appreciation for particle physics and motivating her to continue this work through her senior thesis. She is currently spending the spring semester of her junior year at Princeton University, exploring advanced coursework in quantum mechanics and studying high-energy theory at the graduate level. Raised in Lahore, Pakistan, Aimen is a strong supporter of women\u2019s rights in South Asia and is passionate about making science education and communication more accessible. She also loves philosophy, literature, playing music, and skating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5130,"template":"","profile_category":[25],"class_list":["post-5129","profiles","type-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-2026-interns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profiles"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5131,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5129\/revisions\/5131"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"profile_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile_category?post=5129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
