Level: | College/University Student Pursuing an Undergraduate Degree, and Graduating in June 2016 |
I spent my high school career at the National Institute of Standards and Technology researching the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, which has potential to provide a foundation for scalable quantum teleportation and computation. My interests shifted to quantitative finance in my first year at Stanford. I then got involved with a IEX Group, a start-up trading platform, and served as their in-house quant during my summer internship. Going into my sophomore year, I am focused on establishing the next great technology venture.

Responsibilities: While sophomore in high school, I contacted and established mentorship with Dr. Steven Olmschenk at NIST. I conducted research to advance quantum computers and quantum teleportation. During the research, I created and developed Mathematica programs for computational analysis and visualization of results. As a result of my work, I am an author on two published manuscripts.
Responsibilities: I developed measures to provide useful data interpretation for both internal decision-making and external-facing needs. I wrote scripts in Q to compute these metrics using kdb+, a powerful database for time-series analysis. My other work at the firm included development contributions to internal UI libraries and applications.

I believe that STEM is a set of foundational disciplines that can be used to cause change. However, such utilization is not possible without driven and innovative minds. It is my mission to help find, inspire, and bring together individuals to use STEM to change the world.

Recognition: Steve took a big chance by agreeing to mentor a 15-year-old in a quantum physics research project. I was extremely fortunate that, from day one, he believed in my potential. Over the course of my project, Steve taught me everything I know about quantum mechanics, which gave me the confidence I needed to work on cutting edge theory. Without Steve, I don't believe my research would have ever been so successful, and I am grateful to have worked with him.
