Your Time at the University
I was from a chemical engineering background, but deep down I knew only science is for me. So, I chose materials chemistry at the University of Edinburgh for a master’s. In that year, I worked so hard that going out was almost a rarity, but that didn’t stop me from realising how beautiful Edinburgh was.
The School of Chemistry is like a gold mine. Every single member of staff was both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. From them, I learned what a scientist is supposed to be like, without losing any character! As a physical chemistry lover, Prof. Neil Robertson and Prof. Carole Morrison’s classes were my favourite. In those lectures, textbooks are so well connected with frontier sciences that they made me feel I was doing research myself. The courses taken at the University of Edinburgh felt so hard for me because I had never studied solid state physics before, but I was not scared by it at all: the professors are always there to help; the department gave plenty of support on resources that we could use.
