Why did you enter the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?

I entered the Young Scientist Challenge because I want to encourage people to research cancer and further automate human processes.

What is your favorite invention of the last 100 years, and why?

My favorite invention in the past 100 years is a personal computer because it gives me access to the internet as well as computational power on the go.

In 15 years I hope to be...

A bioengineer.

I really enjoy learning and problem solving. It is what keeps me up at night and gets me up in the morning.
