AAPT Member Spotlight
Meet Abhishek
I was always curious about nature and how things worked. I loved reading biographies of great scientists. When I was exposed to Carl Sagan and his popular science writing, I began to wonder deeply about the universe and the natural world. As I continued reading, I became fascinated by the concepts and implications of quantum mechanics. This fascination eventually brought me from my home country of Nepal to Clemson University in South Carolina for graduate studies.
