1.What have you done on the team?

I primarily work on computer-aided design to draft parts and structures for robot building; I also do team branding and engineering notebook documentation.

 

   2.What have you learned most from your experience?

In the past, I’ve considered myself an independent worker. Since then, I’ve grown during my time on Nemesis Prime and learned to work as part of a team.

   

   3.What are your goals for this year? 

This year, I hope to use computer science and mathematics for motion planning and control for our robot.

 

   4.What's your favorite class?

I enjoy Language Arts because it empowers ideas and fosters critical discourse.

 

   5.What do you do in your free time?  

As a Wikipedia editor, I revise pages on philosophy, logic, math, and physics.

 

   6.What has been your favorite moment on the team?

My favorite moment was when our team placed first after the qualifying rounds, because all of our work culminated in that moment.

 

   7. If you could go back and tell your freshman self anything, what would it be??

I would tell my freshman self to join that Dungeons & Dragons (a fantasy role-playing game) group with which my present self has made great friends and memorable experiences.

 

   8.What do you want to be when you grow up and why?

I want to be a professor in a higher-education setting because I enjoy teaching others about the natural world and the questions it poses. I am interested in the fields of mechatronics, robotics, and automation engineering.

 

   9.If you could switch places with anyone, who would you be and why?

I would switch places with John Stuart Mill in 1861 (when he published Utilitarianism) so I can truly understand the genius behind his philosophy.
