Q: What are your physics/science interests?

I am fascinated by how physics can help us better understand materials and their properties. Although there are tons of fascinating topics related to physics and material science, I am most intrigued by its application towards renewable energy.

Q: What are your other interests?

I am a member of the music department at my university. As a pianist, I currently study classical music, participate in ensembles, and accompany other musicians.

Q: What would you like to do after college?

I want to attend graduate school to explore experimental physics on a deeper level and gain exposure to renewable energy-related projects.

Q: Tell us one strange but interesting fact about yourself.

I briefly attended a Korean Montessori school.

Q: What first sparked your interest in Physics?

In my first semester of college, I enrolled in the introductory physics course where my professor regularly demonstrated different physical phenomena using items like tennis balls and spinning wheels. He showed me how the laws of physics govern phenomena we observe on a daily basis. Through these demonstrations, I became fascinated with how the laws of physics can define the world around us.

Q: If you could have any pet, what would it be?

My dream is to own a Siberian husky.

Q: If you had a free month and unlimited funds, how would you spend your time?

Traveling Europe has always been on my bucket list. With unlimited funds, I would travel all over to expose myself to a wide variety of history, culture, and food!

Q: If you could get a grant to study anything, what would it be?

I would study the applications of material science and physics in renewable energy. Particularly, I would research photovoltaic cells and attempt to discover alternative cells with higher efficiency.
