On this episode of STEMoirs, Dr. Amanda Youssef talks about her journey from Lebanon to MIT, the cultural differences of working in Germany and France (hint: may involve sunbathing after work and hiking on weekends), and now living on the west coast of the US.
We hear about oxygen complexes and crystal defects in silicon solar cells, how she navigated the fast-paced environment of MIT, the amazing support of her family, and about women standing up for themselves in the workplace.
