Program: Mathematical Physics
Year: 2
Pronouns: He/Him
Career goal: My career goal is to become a researcher specialized in astronomy for the topics about the space and the universe!
How I get involved: I attend mostly phys club events, such as students-prof night, trivial night, etc. I will begin tutoring in the Physics Tutorial Centre starting in the fall.
Why I love my program
I love Mathematical Physics because it allows you to see the beauty of physics encoded with math. Without a good knowledge of mathematics, it would be very difficult to understand all the nuances embedded in physics. In the early years of highschool, I really enjoyed math and later in highschool I found physics fascinating. When I first applied to university, I chose Physics and Astronomy but later switched to Mathematical Physics for this reason — being able to understand physics a lot better with stronger mathematical skills!
Why University of Waterloo?
I choose University of Waterloo out of all universities I applied for primarily because of co-op: it gives you the chance to accumulate work / internship experience while you are at university, and it is also very close to the Perimeter Institute, creating the possibility to get good physics internship as one of the best and useful experience through my undergraduate years!
