    Professors' research guidance helped her reach grad school

    “Professor Andy Zhou supervised a physics education research project on the force and pressure of a dog bite so that I could get some experience in education research. He and professor Abdul Haija encouraged me to go on to the doctoral level.”

    Susannah Zhang ’12, BSEd in physics; PhD candidate in physics, University of Georgia
