Document:
Tobos was born in Bucharest, Romania where she earned a bachelor's degree in physics. Following graduation, she taught middle-school and high-school physics and prepared students for physics Olympiads.
She went back to school for graduate work to further her studies and earned a master's degree and a PhD in Experimental Solid State Physics from Western Michigan University. Her field of study is high-temperature superconductors.
Tobos has been teaching at Lawrence Technological University since fall of 2001 and she has been involved ever since with both introductory and advanced physics classes.
She likes to say that: "Every challenge in learning will exercise your brain."
