1997 - 2001 A.D.

 

Candidate - Master of Science (M.S.)
Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics

Candidate - Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) 
       1st Major - Submatriculant
Biophysics

biophysics (n) - The physics of  biological processes. Biophysicists use experimental and
theoretical approaches and develop new methods to address the mechanisms of biological processes at every level.


2nd Major -  with Honors
 Philosophy of Science

philosophy {Gk. filosofia [philosophia]}
Literally, love of wisdom. Hence, careful thought about the fundamental nature of the world, the grounds for human
knowledge, and the evaluation of human conduct. As an academic discipline, philosophy's chief branches include
logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, and the appropriate aims and methods of each are the
concern of metaphilosophy.


3rd Major - Concentration in Chemical Principles
 Physics

physics (n). The science of matter and energy and of the interactions between the two.
