Christian Luca
Good morning to all,

My name is Christian Luca. I have a B.S. in chemistry (chemical physics track) from Stony Brook University in NY and a professional science master's in health physics from IIT. I enjoy physics, as well as history, mathematics, chemistry, foreign languages (speak Romanian, Spanish, some French, Portuguese, very little Swedish and German), philosophy, and religion.

I am potentially interested in a medical physics career, but am not certain as the risk of going through a master's program may not be wise considering the somewhat low probability of getting int a residency program, where PhD candidates are preferred.

Thank you, and I look forward to participating in the Physics Forums!
