Hi, I'm Nischal and I'm standing to be your VP!

As VP, I would focus on organising more frequent group activities such as board games nights, and sporting events, as I believe these are really important and really bring people together. I'd also try to get more careers events organised, as I feel like we don't have enough of those throughout the year, and they tend to be really useful. 

Overall, I would try to get the society do more stuff that gets people together. 

Yours truly,

Nischal

Hi!

I’m Taka, second year physics interested in high energy theory.

As vice president, I would like to bring Physics Society consistent events marketed in advance. Those include continuing the seminar talks which I hope to co-host with the department and social events especially in collaboration with other STEM societies.

Over the last 2 years I have been heavily involved in the UCL Japan Society’s committee, serving 600+ members and hosting 40+ events yearly. Some of our notable achievements are winning society of the year as well as hosting a 600 person boat party alongside 12 other universities.

I’ve shown commitment to running a high functioning society over the last 2 years and I want to contribute to Physics Society now as well. I hope to see all of you next year!

Over the past year as the Academic Officer of the Physics Society, I’ve had the opportunity to organise a range of events, including the PhD panel, physics competitions, and several social activities. I’ve also been involved in events run by the Department and the Institute of Physics, which has helped me understand how our student community connects with the wider academic environment and where we can strengthen those links.

As Vice President, I’d work closely with the President and committee to keep building on this momentum. I want our events to be both academically enriching and socially welcoming. I hope to organise more targeted events for different year groups, such as academic guidance and career panels for early-year students, and research-focused discussions for finalists, while continuing to run socials that bring students from all years together. Most importantly, I want the Physics Society to be a genuine bridge between the Department and students. That means actively listening to feedback, being open to new ideas, and making sure our activities reflect what members actually want.
