Sometimes known as "The Science Babe", she appears in mainstream television and radio segments where she explains concepts in physics in everyday life.
[7] After passing an advanced placement test,[3] she was accepted for a Wien scholarship at Brandeis University in Massachusetts[5][6] where she at first continued her studies in philosophy.
Here, she encountered her first science course, an intro-course to Astronomy[5][3][4] and in her senior year she decided she needed give physics a try.
She won a merit-based full scholarship from the Mexican government[3] and went on to complete a PhD in physics from Stanford[5][8] in 2004.
[6] While at Stanford, she worked with Nobel laureate Steven Chu from 1998[3] and co-created the Association for the Advancement of Women in Physics with another female student.
[6] After completing her PhD, Berebichez was a post-doctoral researcher first at Columbia University's Applied Math and Physics Department and later at NYU's Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
Dr. Berebichez has written scholarly articles on the subject of altering the structural design of optical, mechanical and electrical systems in order to prevent signal transmission loss due to wave scattering.
