"A year ago, I had the opportunity to transfer to UCSB with my advisor, Professor Klamkin, and I chose to move across the country because UCSB has a world-renowned photonics program and community. I definitely made the right decision by moving -- the UCSB College of Engineering is not only prestigious, the students and professors are supportive and collaborative. The college is active in promoting women in STEM and sharing knowledge with the greater Santa Barbara community through numerous outreach programs." Read Victoria's full Q&A.
