Miss. Alsaba Javed Sayyad
Ph.D. Student at Henan University, Kaifeng, China
I have received my Masters degree in Physics in 2023 at Vivekanand College, Kolhapur (Empowered Autonomous). I am currently a Ph.D. Student at Henan University, Kaifeng, China. The 3 years I spent in Vivekanand College were crucial in shaping my career. I have learnt a lot during myMasters degree. I got the freedom to work the topics of my interest and as a result, after graduation I got a research position that gives me immense work satisfaction. Instead of rushing the students to provide quick research results, Dr. S. S. Latthe, Head, Department of Physics always focused on providing the perfect platform by allowing students sufficient time to develop all the necessary fundamentals through highly informative study groups organized by the senior students. Therefore, by the time I started my research, I had already become very familiar with the crucial details in my area of research. As a result, the transition to research was very smooth and easy. Also, the interactions with the other students started right from the first year while taking these study group courses. Therefore, we had a very friendly, comfortable, and collaborative environment in the lab right through our Masters studies. I will cherish the memories that we had in our college immensely.
