Awards
1. Tau Beta Pi Honors
This is given to the top Engineering students at Princeton (top 1/8 of juniors by GPA). I was also elected President of Tau Beta Pi by its members, illustrating my commitment to service and Engineering. In this role, I organize tours of the Engineering school and chapter ceremonies for >100 members.
2. CS Outstanding Independent Work
This award is given to the best independent work (research) project by an undergraduate in Princeton's Computer Science department every semester. I received it for my Fall 2022 research project on physics-informed neural networks for ocean turbulence models.
3. HMEI Summer Research Award
This award is given by Princeton to a student completing an exceptional research project on environmental topics with HMEI. I was given this award for my 2020 summer project focused on a statistical analysis of Atlantic cod population fluxes.
4. Paideia Scholarship 2019
I was given this scholarship to support my academic pursuits at Princeton. This scholarship is given to the top student demonstrating the Greek concept of Paideia, or a love of learning; I received it for my academic excellence and independent pursuit of learning.
