      Bachelor's Degree Materials Science and Engineering

      Claudia's studies focused on semiconductor physics; learning how chemical and electrical principles fuse together to create modern electronic devices. In the summer of 2011 the NSF's REU program allowed her to study germanium nano-crystals at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The following year she interned at Micron Technology in Virginia, conducting failure analysis investigations on integrated circuits using focused ion beams & electron microscopes.

In the summer of 2011 the NSF's REU program allowed her to study germanium nano-crystals at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The following year she interned at Micron Technology in Virginia, conducting failure analysis investigations on integrated circuits using focused ion beams & electron microscopes. Of the experience, Claudia says, “As part of my job I saw individual atoms, in a perfect crystal lattice and as an engineer and scientist one can only feel awe.” She later completed another co-op at SpaceX, to help build and design today’s most innovative rockets and space capsules. Claudia, who grew up in Cuba during the 1990s, hopes to use her skills to serve others and facilitate freedom & sovereignty for all.Source: https://mse.ufl.edu/materials-science-undergraduate-claudia-sotomayor-gives-commencement-speech/ Show less
