My interest in pursuing a degree in physics was ignited by the field’s endless opportunities and its profound insights into energy and matter. A pivotal moment for me was my first encounter with physics during a high school internship.

I am really passionate about how physics delves into the core of energy and matter, and how this understanding can drive technological advancements. What excites me most is applying these principles to develop new technologies that improve energy efficiency. I am eager to use what I’ve learned to tackle real-world problems and contribute to creating innovative solutions.

My goal is to be involved in advancing technologies that address energy challenges and promote sustainability, and I’m thrilled by the possibility of being part of that process., My future plans with my degree in physics include pursuing a Ph.D., where I aim to fully engage in research and deepen my expertise. After completing my doctoral studies, I plan to work in the private sector, focusing on advancing new technologies, particularly in the field of nanotechnology. My goal is to contribute to cutting-edge developments and innovations.

One of my recent accomplishments is completing an internship at AIM Photonics in Albany, NY. During this internship, I engaged in meaningful research and will have the opportunity to present my findings at upcoming conferences.
