Ellen Klein is a sixth year Ph.D. candidate in Physics studying the self-assembly of colloidal particles. She is interested in learning what colloidal particles can tell us about entropy, phase transitions, and, possibly, biological systems. Ellen is a 2015 recipient of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

Ellen also organized the Supporting Inclusion of Underrepresented Peoples (SPIN UP) Workshop and Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) held at Harvard University in January, 2017. More information can be found here: http://cuwip2017.physics.harvard.edu .

In 2013 Ellen received her B.S. in Intensive Physics from Yale University where she worked with Prof. Bonnie Fleming.
