Samiha completed her BAsc in Nanotechnology Engineering at the University of Waterloo. After a co-op of fabricating and characterizing organic electronics, her interest in the field bloomed. This brought her to the Lessard Group and to new pastures in Ottawa. When she isn't focusing on her academic pursuits, she is often enjoying a cup of tea (or a diet coke past 4 pm), reading a novel or weightlifting while listening to Sufjan Stevens.
