Who am I?
In short, I'm a physicist. I completed my BS at Columbia in Applied Physics in 2019. I then completed a masters (2021) and PhD (2023) at Harvard in theoretical physics. While there, I conducted research in theoretical quantum computing. I then worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard for one year. I am currently a research associate at Harvard.

My story
When I first applied to college, I was rejected from all but two schools.
I spent my first two years of college at Boston University, working very hard to transfer out. While there, I decided to change my application strategy. I began exploring my passion for engineering outside of class. I did this by reading books and picking up projects. Doing so taught me to find enjoyment in learning. Over time, I came to realize that this was the missing ingredient when I first applied.
Once I found a passion for learning, applying to college became easier. This formed the basis for my new application strategy, which ultimately helped me receive offers from Cornell and Columbia.
When I began attending Columbia, I used this strategy to apply to PhD programs in physics, helping me receive offers from Cornell, Dartmouth, Yale, and Harvard.
I'd like to stress that I did not accomplish this through talent. I was just willing to work hard at something that I loved. If that's true for me, then it's true for anyone else. That's what I aim to teach you.
