Currently immersed in an independent study program, she is working on a laser diode system in a project supervised by Daniel Gauthier, an assistant professor of physics.

I've been building circuits and learning the basics of research and what it takes. It's not all learning. Sometimes it's building a table, a precision table for your lasers. He is not going to be overwhelmed by 500 students, and he gets to know me as a person, and we develop a relationship. I've been really happy with it.
