Favorite memory of SPU: “My faculty advisor (Associate Professor of Math) Wai Lau has been one of the biggest blessings for me at SPU. He helped me find opportunities for conferences, especially those for women scientists, apply to graduate school, and land an internship at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab last summer. Furthermore, he is a great spiritual mentor who always supports me during hard times. What he has done for me has inspired and motivated me to be a better follower of Christ. I hope I will be able to help more people in the same way one day.”
