“Here at ��ҹ�첥, my professors taught me that there’s a way to combine different academic disciplines to tackle complex, difficult problems. They offered me so much mentorship, inclusivity and communication.”

“Whether you're leading a project, whether you're running an experiment, whether you're working with a team, patience is very important. There are so many ways where the solution to the problem is just … seeing what the next move you can take is.”
