“My field of specialization was materials physics, but

I tried to deviate from the usual research topics as I
wanted to be a well-rounded researcher. Usually, if
you’re going to take materials physics as specialization,
you go to the condensed matter physics laboratory, or
the liquid crystal laboratory.”
