🎯 Academic Focus & Future Goals
#

My academic interests form a multi-disciplinary arc — starting from the core of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EE/ECE) and extending toward Business, Applied Mathematics, and Quantitative Finance.

At heart, I’m driven by the idea of building systems that connect precision, computation, and real-world utility:

  • In EE/ECE, I’m fascinated by embedded systems, sensor design, and human–machine interfaces — how hardware and data can empower decision-making.
  • In Business & Applied Math, I enjoy modeling uncertainty and optimizing limited resources, whether in markets or in engineering design.
  • In Quantitative Finance, I find beauty in using stochastic models and data to forecast complex systems — merging mathematical intuition with strategic insight.
  • In Physics, I see the foundation of everything: understanding the rules before designing around them.

This blend of disciplines allows me to think like an engineer, reason like a scientist, and act like a builder.

📚 AP Coursework & Academic Rigor
#

I pursue one of the most rigorous course loads at Wyoming Seminary, combining both STEM and humanities to strengthen analytical and expressive thinking.

AP Courses Completed or in Progress:

  • STEM: Physics C (Mechanics & E&M), Calculus BC, Chemistry, Statistics, Computer Science Principles
  • Social Sciences & Humanities: Macroeconomics, European History, English Language & Composition, English Literature
  • Independent Studies: Advanced Electronics, Quantitative Research Projects, and Data Modeling

Each course gives me tools to bridge technical and human perspectives — from vector calculus in electromagnetism to data interpretation in economics.

🧠 Academic Awards & Research Recognition
#

  • PJAS (Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science) — Two-time Award Winner, recognized for original research in optical sensing and material systems, including a Surface Plasmon Resonance–based bacterial detection prototype.
  • HIMCM (High School Mathematical Modeling Contest) — First Prize, for developing a statistical model integrating environmental and behavioral variables.
  • Science Olympiad — Medaled in Electric Vehicle and Robot Tour events for applying mechanical design and coding principles.
  • Dean’s High Honor Roll — Recognized for consistent excellence across advanced STEM and humanities coursework.

Beyond competitions, I continuously challenge myself with open-source projects, exploring circuit design, algorithm optimization, and AI-assisted prototyping through GitHub and online engineering communities.

💡 Intellectual Philosophy
#

To me, academics isn’t about collecting scores — it’s about building frameworks for understanding.
Engineering teaches how things work; business teaches why decisions matter; and mathematics teaches how to measure uncertainty.

When these three intersect, they create something powerful: clarity amidst complexity.
That’s the mindset I carry into every experiment, every class, and every project I design.
