What were some of the most positive and surprising things about living in Pittsburgh? What did you expect of the city how was it different from your expectations?
Pittsburgh is one of the biggest cities in Pennsylvania so safety was a major concern for me, but, I found Pittsburgh is a very safe city and has good weather. What did you enjoy most about your research experiences and graduate studies here at Pitt?
Pitt has researchers who are working in various fields. Even though I did not have a chance to do research in all of these fields, I had a chance to expose myself to these fields. Exposure of myself to all of these fields of research has strengthened and widened my science. Pitt also has many good graduate students; I had many chances to discuss science and research with them. It was another great opportunity to deepen my science.
