A curious mind

guided by physics, powered by purpose.

Phuong Anh 101:
"Surviving" Physics without losing your sparkle.

They said Physics is a “man’s field.” I said: Watch me calculate orbital motion in pink!

​

Between research projects and late-night skywatching, I’m figuring out the universe one girly equation at a time. And while I’m at it, I hope to spark something in other girls who dare to dream beyond gravity.
Maybe you’ll find a little bit of yourself somewhere along my journey.

The Origin

Breaking Gravity

Since I was a child, I’ve had a strange little habit: gazing at the moon and stars for hours, reading children’s books about science and astronomy, and trying to explain natural phenomena on my own. Back then, I didn’t know it was called physics, I was simply curious about how the world worked. But that curiosity became the spark that led me on a long journey, where those tiny questions slowly grew into an endless passion for discovery.


Entering high school, I chose to specialize in Physics not only because I loved it, but because I wanted to truly understand the mechanics behind the world we live in. During those years, I also explored astronomy, where physics isn’t confined to laboratories but shines across the night sky. I joined the school team, competed in various contests, sometimes won high prizes, and sometimes failed miserably. Yet each failure taught me how to stand up again, to practice harder, to try once more, believing that true passion never ends with a period.

The Discovery

Somewhere along the way, I met incredible mentors, joined my first research groups, and, plot twist, co-authored three actual scientific papers. I even got invited to speak at a conference (which, to be honest, felt surreal.. like, “how did the girl who used to doodle stars in her notebook end up here?”).

The Leap

Then came the real turning point. I realized physics wasn’t just about theories, it was about creating things that matter. I started interning, launching projects, and finding small ways to make knowledge do something real.

The Spark

After a few volunteer trips, painting with kids, building, teaching, I learned that science only shines when it’s shared. Somewhere in between equations and telescope nights, I also noticed how few girls there still are in physics.


And yeah, sometimes it’s intimidating being the only girl in the room full of brilliant logic machines (aka boys). But instead of backing down, I decided to make that my fuel, to prove that girls can be bold, brainy, and still wear glitter while doing physics.

Chasing stars, inspiring girls,

and redefining what science looks like.

I look at the stars not just to dream, but to remind

every little girl that science, too, belongs to her.
