I hope to shape the world by designing technologies that make systems smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable, especially in places where change is needed but hard to implement. Whether it’s using artificial intelligence to improve the energy efficiency of space debris removal, building solar-powered cars, or creating natural carbon-capture devices, I’m drawn to projects that solve environmental problems through practical engineering. I believe small innovations, if well designed and thoughtfully applied, can create ripple effects. An autonomous energy-efficient space laser, a slightly more efficient motor, or a shift in how we think about natural resources might not change the world overnight, but their effects can add up. That’s the kind of engineering work I want to pursue: meaningful, focused, and grounded in science and environmental responsibility.
