Fueled by problem-solving

“Every time I try to solve a problem — whether it be physics or computer science — I always try to find an elegant solution,” says MIT senior Thomas Bergamaschi, who spent four years learning how to solve problems while an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) student in the Engineering Quantum Systems (EQUS) laboratory at MIT.“Of course,” he adds, “there are many times where a problem doesn't have an elegant solution, or finding an elegant
