A Diploma from Columbia in Electrical Engineering

I am excited to finally share that I have graduated from Columbia University with a master’s in electrical engineering. It feels surreal to hold my diploma in hand, and I wanted to take a moment to look back at the ride it has been.

Over the past few years, I have tackled a bunch of different courses that stretched my brain in all sorts of directions. From Solid Biomechanics to Future Energy Systems, it has been a mix of fascinating subjects that have kept me on my toes. Some of these classes were tough nuts to crack, while others were a breeze—I am looking at you, Blockchain Technology.

One of the coolest things I did was in my Optical Systems course, where I built a virtual model of the LORRI camera—the one used on the New Horizons and other spacecraft. It was pretty awesome to dive into the optics and mechanics of a real-world system that’s been used in space exploration. That project was definitely a highlight of my time at Columbia and something I am really proud of.

In Quantitative Physiology II and Computational Modeling of Physiological Systems, I got to blend engineering with biology in a really hands-on way. I built a MATLAB model to take measurements on a sonogram, which was both challenging and super rewarding. It was one of those projects that reminded me just how versatile and impactful engineering can be.

Now that I am done, I am excited to see where this knowledge will take me next. Whether I am working on the next big thing in energy or just tinkering with new ideas, I am ready for whatever comes my way.

Thanks to everyone who has been there for me during this adventure.
