My career goal is to develop research in the intersection of history and the sciences. This includes understanding the impact of scientific development on the course of history. I believe understanding science through a historical lens will help us to guide technological advances in the future in an informed and ethical manner. Historians must embrace scientific and technical proficiency to advance the scope of objective human knowledge.

The main areas of research I have explored during my high school career include Machine Learning projects for facial recognition of the Cercopithecus monkey population in Gombe National Park, biological challenges of a manned mission to Mars, and military and disease history.

I have presented my personal research on facial recognition at several conferences and AI symposiums. This includes fieldwork undertaken in Tanzania at Gombe National Park.

I attended United Space School in 2019 as one of five students to represent the United States. This involved a two-week collaborative international space education program comprised of approximately 50 students from around 25 countries designing a mission to Mars.
