    A Physics Career Along the Path Less Traveled
    IPST, Physics of Living Systems- 17 Jan 20

    Michelle Girvan’s career defies easy categorization. Currently a professor of physics, very little of her research would be immediately recognizable to a physics traditionalist. Instead, she applies her physics training to tackle discipline-spanning scientific questions that range from social relationships and cancer genetics to artificial intelligence (AI). 

    When asked how she identifies herself to new colleagues, a thoughtful smile crossed her face as she pondered a reply.
