#PhysicsDay spotlight: Growing up, Luis Martinez never had any role models in science but was always curious. He never dreamed about becoming a physicist, but you could say a light went on in his head when he was in his early 20s. While in community college, Martinez took his first physics course after a friend prodded him to take the class to quench his thirst for understanding how nature works. He was especially interested in understanding light. Today, Martinez works in quantum computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
