A Tech Forward Education
Only Stevens had the right combination of a practical quantum mechanics program and a warm welcome. Professor Yuping Huang talked with me on the phone and invited me to visit the QuEST Lab in the physics department, and once I had done that, I knew I'd found my place at Stevens.

The QuEST Lab has helped me significantly, and I'm so happy that I've been able to contribute my skillset to this team in a way I didn’t expect. After joining Yuping Huang's group, I was amazed to see how quantum mechanics can enhance systems and technology. It's really awesome, and reminds me of when I worked at the startup. We will do great things.
