Mayte Li is a PhD student with Quantum City at the University of Calgary. Originally from Mexico City, she has found both challenge and inspiration in Calgary: from building quantum microscopes that harness entangled photons, to climbing in the Canadian Rockies. For Mayte, climbing and research share the same lessons: resilience, balance, and persistence in the face of setbacks. Along the way, she has built community and friendship, showing that science is not only about discovery but also about the people that make the climb possible.
