While most of us were just barely entering Grade 11 when we were 16, international student Daniel Honciuc Menendez is preparing to become the young...

Honciuc Menendez is set to graduate from the university on Friday with a specialist in physics and a major in mathematics with high distinction, making him the youngest to do so since the institution began tracking such data.

"I'd known for a long time that I wanted a career in physics," said Honciuc Menendez."But it was in this program that I learned for sure that this was what I wanted to do with my life." The program is set to take place over two years at the Sapienza University of Rome in Italy, then at Université Paris-Saclay in France, and lastly at U of T.

"Later, I want to pursue a PhD in physics where I can go deeper into the intersection between quantum information and high-energy physics.​​​​​​"
