Priscilla V.
📍 London, United Kingdom
Applicant to Physics BS Programs with 2025 Entry
Biography
I am embarking on an academic journey in Physics following more than a decade of professional experience. My current academic interests lie in the exploration of cosmology related to black holes, gravitational waves, and other astrophysical phenomena.
My love for physics began when reading Parallel Universes by Fred Alan Wolf as a teen adolescent. A lifelong sci-fi fan, I couldn’t believe that modern physics embodies the wildest of theories, and I was deeply fascinated to learn more. My affinity for quantum phenomena grew even stronger throughout my years spent working, until finally, I couldn’t wait any longer.
My ethos is to live life with resilience and curiosity, and I believe physics will provide me with a platform to do this. Most importantly, no one inspires me more than my 11-year-old son.
