A high school sophomore from the San Francisco Bay Area, Adam is interested in science, engineering, math and finance. He is also an anytime intern at a robotics startup in San Francisco. Adam hopes to one day become a quant trading roboticist like his older brother whom he has always enjoyed working with.
Adam loves rock climbing because it’s very much like puzzle solving; one connects the dots on the wall to find a new path. From mechanical engineering to computational biology, Adam’s projects has won science fair prizes every year since 7th grade. On quiet evenings, Adam enjoys listening to music and plays his favorite guitar.
Adam is looking forward to taking a popular computer science class at UC Berkeley this summer as a pre-college scholar after he turns 16. He plans to begin flying lessons soon as he is old enough to drive. Adam hopes to earn a pilot license before heading out to college, where he will pursue a double major in engineering and finance.
