What drew you to Michigan Tech?
WW: I spent five years at Michigan Tech for my PhD—the first five years after moving to the U.S. During that time, I made some of the best friends of my life and really felt at home here. Ever since, I knew I wanted to make my way back. Plus, Michigan Tech has the right facilities for my research, making it the perfect place to be.
