Chris Funch is a master's candidate in applied physics, preparing for a career in the semiconductor and photovoltaic industry. The UO's emphasis on both academics and industrial application was a big reason Funch enrolled in the program.

"Reading something in a book can be useful in terms of understanding the fundamentals behind it," says Funch. "But not everything behaves ideally in the real world. 

"Having that experience with professionals in those fields by your side is certainly useful in understanding not only the fundamentals--but also the quirks behind how things really work."
