Biology
It's really exciting that we could have such a big impact on the scientific community just because we're doing something that hasn't been done before.

Mathematics
My first math class at Cal Lutheran, Calculus 3, is what motivated me to major in it. I really enjoyed the active learning method Dr. Gagliardo used in this class, guiding us through problems instead of lecturing with examples. All the faculty are passionate about math and genuinely care about each student’s success in their classes.

Physics
During my research, I created quantum simulations to observe the behavior and characteristics of the superconductive material strontium ruthenate. Something exciting I learned in the process was how this material behaves unconventionally compared to other known superconductors by exhibiting half-flux states.
