Goals and interests
- Career goal
I plan to become a chemical and/or nuclear engineer. I have taken steps towards this by teaching myself basic calculus and intending to take college-level chemistry courses at Stanford this year at Stanford Summer Session.
- Graduate school interests
My primary interests that I wish to advance to a graduate level is chemistry and applied physics.I am especially interested in taking course in organic chemistry because I already partly understand much of it due to my mass of knowledge in food science. It would truly be a dream to take that knowledge to a true understanding of its bare components, the elements. It would also be fantastic to take my understanding of math to a graduate level as well. .I am primarily interested in analytic functions of complex numbers. It is fascinating the extent that imaginary numbers can be used to describe real world phenomenon despite the fact the number itself is imaginary.
- Outside the classroom
My main hobbies include playing bass guitar, trying to solve math Olympiad problems, and annoying my friends by talking about a new thing I learned about.
