In Their Words
Physics is the backbone of everything that you study in engineering, so when I got to Penn State, I was already kind of ahead of the curve.

I have my physics professors to thank for helping me get in graduate school with a full scholarship at Penn State. They have a great relationship with the faculty in the PSU Engineering Department. With their help, I made a connection with a professor, who hired me as a research assistant. This funded my thesis research and also paid for my tuition.

At LVC, we train the next generation of scientists. Our students cultivate skills in the classroom and research labs that will take them far. It is gratifying to work with a student for several years in the classroom and lab and see that culminate in co-authoring a journal article and them presenting research at a major conference. Equally rewarding is to follow their accomplishments after they graduate from our program.

Director of cooperative engineering and assistant professor of physics
