McGill Faculty of Science, MSc, Physics

Education:
University of Saskatchewan (BE/BSc’23)

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

As an engineering physics student at the University of Saskatchewan, Minh led a student group dedicated to design and innovation in biomedical engineering. She worked and volunteered as an editor for the university’s student-run newpaper, tutored students at a Vietnamese language school, and managed social media for a financial literacy club. During the summers, Minh worked in research and taught kids at a science camp. She also spent a summer conducting research at CERN, the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. As a McCall MacBain Scholar, Minh is studying experimental particle physics at McGill.

“I am honoured and determined to do my best to be a force for good. Not only is the financial aspect much appreciated, the leadership and mentorship program as well as the camaraderie with fellow scholars are some things I look forward to, in the context that I want to go beyond my field of study to make a positive social impact. There is a lot I have yet to know, and I am beyond excited to learn through the opportunities provided by the McCall MacBain Scholarship."
