More quotes by Kathleen Adebola Okikiolu

I do research on a variety of problems in condensed matter physics. My primary interests are in the general field of statistical mechanics.

I learned mathematics on my own from textbooks which is perhaps strange given that both my parents were involved in the subject. At the same time, I spent a good deal of time studying art and wanted to follow a career in that direction until I was eventually convinced by my family that I should first work for a mathematics degree to ensure that I could earn a living.
