STEM Careers | Love your future, with women in science
Yi Rye (Jireh) Choi
In Year 12, Yi Rye (Jireh) Choi discovered her passion for physics, a love that would later shape her successful career as one of Defence's women in science.
Currently pursuing a PhD in Titanium Manufacturing and working as a researcher at DSTG, she reflects on her journey.
'As the only girl in the classroom, I learnt how to be independent, stand up for myself, and adapt to different situations,' she shares.
'In my job, I learn something new nearly every day. There is so much knowledge around me and people are so willing to help and teach.'
'I get my hands dirty, work in teams in set-up test rigs, break things to understand how they break and use high-tech equipment—like electron microscopes, 3D scanners, and thermal cameras.'
DSTG actively nurtures the career development of women in STEM fields, providing avenues for growth and empowerment.
