During my 4-month co-op term at EPTL, I had the amazing opportunity to be mentored by some brilliant minds. My work consisted of implementing the Method of Moments with Interpolative Closure (MOMIC) to track soot particle morphology formed during inception, surface growth, and coagulation. This experience allowed me to delve into the fascinating world of nanostructured particles and gain a deep understanding of soot formation and evolution. The time spent at EPTL also culminated in an array of technical skills – not only did I hone my programming, mathematical, and research skills but also my ability to write technical reports and deliver technical presentations greatly improved. I highly recommend students to join EPTL if they want to make the most out of their STEM careers and gain invaluable experience from a team of smart people.
