About me

I am currently a student at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University and a member of the Class of 2023. As of now, I seek to pursue a career in public health, and if that sounds rather ambiguous, it definitely is: My interests span everything from genetic engineering with a focus on epidemiology to clinical studies involving individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder to public policy work with the aim of improving the population's health and standard of living.

Current Courses

  • EGR 101: First-semester engineering course in which a team of students design and engineer a solution to problems in the Duke and Durham communities
  • EGR 103: The introduction to computing in Python course for engineers
  • PHYS 161L: The lab component of the introduction to mechanics course for physics majors
  • CHEM 201: The introductory Organic Chemistry course for first-year students
  • MATH 212: A mathematics course examining vectors and multivariable calculus

Grand Challenges Problem

Given my interest in public health and engineering, I naturally seek to contribute to the Grand Challenge of Engineering better medicines. In particular, I am immensely interested in projects such as these:
