      I was always curious about the nature that was surrounding me, how things were created, how natural mechanisms were happening. Science is a really powerful tool that allow me to satisfy that curiosity and learn even more about nature. The more I was investigating on a topic the more I realize it was just the top of the iceberg and there was so much more to explore on several sub-topic.

      I first experienced research first-hand during my Masters degree and I liked it. I had used laser light to move objects non-invasively (without touching it) and also make micro-bubbles in different solutions. So, I decided to give it a shot.
      and Voila, 5 years later I was a scientist with a PhD degree.

      I’ve always wanted to learn how things work and still love taking things apart. When I was in school I thought that maybe I should become a carpenter or builder, but I did well in science so my teachers and family suggested that maybe engineering would be a better choice. I couldn’t decide on an engineering field (electronics, mechanical, …), so ended up studying applied physics. I never actually planned to become a researcher/scientist, but I’m happy I did. My recommendation is to follow your interests, there are so many opportunities with a science degree.

      That I can satisfy my curiosity, my love for problem solving, and recognising that I actually like doing experiments.

      I was always interested about how things worked and why. One of my favourite subjects in school was biology and I had a great biology teacher who encouraged me to do study science in college.
