Why I love my program
I love computational chemistry for the way it connects theory with practice. By modelling chemical reactions and molecular interactions, it deepens my understanding of complex systems while positioning me to bridge experimental and computational work. Beyond academics, I’ve really enjoyed the friends I’ve made and the valuable experience I’ve gained through labs and co-ops.
Why University of Waterloo?
I chose the University of Waterloo for its co-op program, which provides hands-on industry and research experience. The opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings strongly supports my academic and career goals.
