How did you get interested in your field of study?
To me, learning physics is an ongoing journey of unveiling the mysteries of the world. We find new phenomena, and we make theories and models to explain why they happen. We use mathematical formulas to predict how things move and change, and then we use human creativity to test and apply what we find. This process profoundly touches me.
