In Episode 7 of Find Your Flock, Dr. Sandra Clavijo speaks with Sophia Miskiewicz, a Stevens alum and current Ph.D. student in physics at the CUNY Graduate Center. With a deep curiosity for the universe—and a minor in music and technology—Sophia shares how her unexpected journey into physics began, how she combined science with the arts, and what life as a Ph.D. researcher really looks like.

🌌 From astrophysics classes at Stevens to conducting neutrino research at the Museum of Natural History, Sophia discusses:

• The moment she fell in love with physics

• Her favorite classes, toughest challenges, and most rewarding experiences

• How community, clubs and undergraduate research shaped her path

• Advice for students still figuring out their major

Hosted by Dr. Sandra Clavijo, Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science, the Find Your Flock podcast is the place for budding engineers and scientists to gain insights from current college students and recent college graduates about career options for STEM majors.
