In his own words: “I am happy to say that my education at CSU has helped me to further my career goals in more ways than one. The rigorous coursework offered in the department of physics (and the honors program) afforded me the opportunity to refine my study habits, presentation skills, and of course, enhance my knowledge of physics! Medical physics may be a clinically oriented field of work, but the concepts behind our work remain unchanged. CSU provided me with the necessary foundation to kick start my career. By continuing to offer the high level training that I experienced during my years in the program, CSU can be sure that they are preparing young minds for a brilliant career.”

In his own words: “Working in the (undergraduate research) lab increased my ability to formulate questions in a clear and concise manner. This is important because if you do not have a clear question, you will have little chance to find a clear answer in a lab setting”

In his own words: My interest in physics started when I took my first physics class in high school. It didn’t take long for me to decide to pick physics as my major in college. I picked CSU because of the strong physics program, Ohio pride, and a reasonably priced tuition. My introductory physics class was taught by Dr. Borisov, and it cemented my love for physics. I discovered that not only do I enjoy learning physics but teaching it as well. I was a math and physics tutor and later a physics TA. Fast forward 3 years, I applied for the Master of Science graduate program at CSU, specializing in medical physics. I had first heard about this program from Dr. Kaufman. I was extremely fortunate that CSU had this program, as I probably never would have heard of the field of medical physics otherwise. After graduating from the program, I entered a medical physics residency program in Texas.
