Sergio Eraso

Graduate Student


Hey there! I am a Physics Ph.D. student at MIT.

Hi there!

My name is Sergio Eraso. I was born in Cali, Colombia, but I moved to the States when I was seven. I've lived in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and now Massachusetts! I attended Emory University for my B.S. in Physics and Mathematics where I completed my thesis in biophysics under the supervision of Ilya Nemenman. I am now a first-year Physics Ph.D. student at MIT rotating in the Chakraborty Group.In my free time, I enjoy video games, football (the one that's played with the feet), biking, guitar, and horror movies! When I can, I also love to spend time with my adorable cat back home in Michigan. Her name is Snow.

My passions are research, teaching, and mentorship

I have dedicated a large portion of my higher education career to mentoring, tutoring, and teaching students of all ages and levels, especially those from disadvantaged communities. I believe that through education, we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable community.
