Do you have any pets?

No pets right now.

When did you know that you wanted to be a scientist/mathematician?​ 

After a brief career planning period where my desired career was a Space Firefighter, I was leaning toward engineering for most of my childhood. I got to play with lasers during a summer internship and have been a physicist since then.

What advice would you give yourself at 20-years-old?

-Embrace opportunities, especially the unexpected ones.

-Embrace the world beyond the one you are comfortable with.

-Don’t be afraid to dream.

-Laugh
