Bio
I am currently a first year Engineering student at Queen's University. I gave a talk for TEDxTeachers@Winchester in 2013 titled "What if We Obliterated Standardised Testing," as I am extremely interested in education reform. In 2015, I was the co-organiser and host of the TEDxYouth@Winchester, themed Cosmic Citizenship. Currently, I am the Partnerships Coordinator for SciFest Dubai, the first local festival of its kind which aims to promote science through the arts.
I'm passionate about
I am passionate about all things which positively contributes to the human race which allows us to move forward and excel as a whole. My key interests are science, technology (artificial intelligence in particular) and promoting Human Rights.
An idea worth spreading
Last year I completed the Human Project course, which promotes taking a cosmic perspective on things and aims to unify the human race to celebrate our differences so that we may excel and create technology and other innovations which can be benificial for the generations to come. In today's world, where war and sociopolitical inequality is prevalent, I think such an idea is definitely one worth spreading.
