01 — Research & Projects
Rocket flight simulation
A computational model of rocket ascent I developed, tested, and interpreted: Euler and Runge–Kutta solvers validated against analytical cases, a burn-time sensitivity study, and a 2,000-run Monte Carlo analysis of peak altitude.
Entered as a trajectory-optimization project at the Terra North Jersey STEM Fair in March 2026, an ISEF-affiliated regional, under Engineering Technology: Statics and Dynamics.
Computational genomics — first-author preprint
First author, with Dr. Umesh Sharma (Mayo Clinic), on a reanalysis of a public genomics atlas. My side was the computation: a dataset of ~254,000 individual cell profiles — running and adapting the analysis pipeline, clustering the data, and testing whether the patterns held up.
SciPy — open-source contribution
Identified three errors in SciPy’s statistics documentation and proposed corrections. All three fixes were accepted and pushed by a SciPy maintainer in August 2026.
AeroLab — RC aircraft
The RocketLab aircraft module, started July 2026: RC-aircraft design in CAD, simulation, aerodynamic analysis, and rapid prototyping, developed iteratively.
Summers
2026 Attended the inaugural cohort of Cornell Tech’s Summer Innovation Intensives: Engineering Operations (Data Science & Decision Making) and Future Builders Studio, where my team built Vouchify, a tool for collecting professional references. Also selected for the Purdue STEP and Michigan Math & Science Scholars programs.
2025 Data-engineering internship at Linde; Harvard Computer Society AI Bootcamp; New York Math Circle summer session at NYU Courant.
2024 Best presenter of 42, Inspirit AI Scholars (colon-cancer detection project); 1st of 25 teams at the Proyecto Competition for an autonomous Rube Goldberg machine.
2023 1st of 21 teams, NJCU STEAM Academy Competition.
02 — Leadership, Teaching & Discipline
Math — both sides of the table
Founded my school’s AMC Math Olympiad Club and trained the team while holding the school’s top AMC 12 score. Ten-time AMC Epsilon award winner at the New York Math Circle; selected by competitive exam for the Blue level at NYU Courant.
Team result: 9th of 23 New Jersey teams and top 100 nationally at the 2026 Purple Comet! Math Meet.
Teaching — Mini-Ivy
Taught STEM to elementary-school students and collaborated with three Princeton undergraduates on math and Python curriculum. Also founded my school’s International Research Olympiad Club.
Linde — data engineering intern
Summer 2025: cleaned and structured live materials-pricing datasets and built a price-prediction model for sputtering-target manufacturing.
Discipline & service
Taekwondo black belt and New Jersey state winner in forms; varsity fencing, and school soccer and swimming before that. Community service packing food bags with the Community FoodBank of NJ and restoring city parks in NJ and NYC.
Recognition
2026 College Board National Recognition Program — School Recognition Award, “For Outstanding Academic Achievement.” 11th of 66 teams at the Science Olympiad at NJIT.
2025 HarvardX CS50P certificate (Python programming); 4th of 38 teams at Sparkathon for PicAllergy, a food-allergen-checking app.
Coursework & activities
Courses DartmouthX, The Engineering of Structures Around Us; Introduction to Bioinformatics (Coursera, in progress).
MUN Represented my school at Model United Nations conferences in New York City, 2024 and 2026.
03 — Music
Trumpet since 2018
School ensembles through eighth grade, then self-taught — YouTube, recordings, and practice; no private lessons. Selected by audition in September 2025 (1 of 6 from my school) for the Dwight Global Concert in Shanghai, held in January 2026. Below, the whole arc: where it started, a practice run four years in, and the audition tape itself.
WHERE IT STARTED — DEC 17, 2018
YEAR FOUR — MAY 7, 2022
THE AUDITION — SEPT 19, 2025
