Once I learned about the fascinating work within the field, I knew MSE was for me.

If your plan of attack isn't working, don’t keep doing the same thing expecting a different result... the goal...

Conceptualizing a problem, and being able to visualize it, is the first major thing you can do to try to solve it.

The MSE Department was amazing - I felt a connection to every professor, all of my classmates.

I feel a duty to research topics that will optimally benefit the rest of the population.

My primary reason for choosing UMD was because of the incredible STEM advances

I felt the topics you learn in MSE really prepare you for a high tech career.

Never be afraid to work towards your passions.

Doing research allowed me to build important skills

I enjoyed each different topic of research and the new challenges I had to overcome

Getting through the rigorous studies of an undergraduate engineering degree prepared me for the real world.

I was fortunate to have Prof. Roytburd as my Ph.D. thesis advisor — he was my mentor and biggest supporter.
