brief Biography

I am a Ukrainian immigrant, who came to the United States at the end of Spring of 2016.  My time in the United States, so far, has been very exciting. Even now it feels like another world around here. Back in the day, not really knowing the language or the culture, I was forced to adapt. The first year was particularly hard, but after that, I had not only passed the ESL classes, I also earned a High-School Diploma from Evans Community Adult School with a perfect GPA. After that, it took me six months to finally understand how education works in the United States to then apply and start studying at Los Angeles City College.  And currently, I am a transfer student at the University of California Davis pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Physics.

My passion is to study the world around me and to try to understand how it works. In particular, I am fascinated by studying materials. I truly believe that the future lies in us understanding materials and their applications.  That is the reason why I am pursuing a degree in Physics, while also trying to minor in Chemistry.  I want to understand what can change materials and their properties. I am not going to stop at my Bachelor's Degree, and my ultimate goal is to attain a Ph.D. in Material Science because it is the ultimate application of concepts in both Physics and Chemistry.
