You are not alone, we are millions.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I am studying the behaviour of complex fluids, such as personal care products
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
I have always been fascinated by the understanding of the things we use every day. For instance, think about a shampoo. What are the ingredients? What is the physics behind? What is the interplay between the ingredients? Is every ingredient really necessary? I combined that with my other passion: cosmetics.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
Younger me would have had more little faith in younger me
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
I was born in a family where there are no other girls. So, I feel like I have sisters now, and being supportive and helping other women make me feel a part of something revolutionary.
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
You are not alone, we are millions.
