Exploring the Unknown

​I love the notion of a challenge and have always been eager to explore the unknown. The nature of scientific research excites and inspires me. I view the scientific method as a lifelong passion to bring about innovative and ground breaking change. I find it peaceful, satisfying and challenging all at once. Each one of us utilizes the scientific method through logical reasoning and problem solving on a daily basis. Ever since the concept was born in the 17th century, mankind has knowingly and unknowingly used the scientific method to confront and solve the many problems humanity faces. I would like to employ the scientific method to answer and solve problems dealing with the human body because I am passionate about health research and medicine. The workflow of diagnosis, treatment and the prevention of disease is one of the best practical applications of the scientific method.
 
Participating in science fair is a perfect opportunity to express and demonstrate my keen interest in conducting biomedical related research. Science fair participation has improved my public speaking and communication skills and enhanced my ability to present complex, scientific concepts in a concise and informative manner. I have been participating in science fair since the 8th grade. My research primarily focuses on developing novel therapeutics to combat coronary artery disease and the detrimental effects of chemotherapy upon the cardiovascular system.
 
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to present a segment of my aforementioned research at the 2016 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Phoenix, Arizona. Having won the Best of Fair - 1st Place Grand Award at the Badger State Science and Engineering Fair (BSSEF) in March, I am excited to return again this year as a Finalist of the 2017 Intel ISEF fair in Los Angeles, California.

Participating in the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair was not only a great platform to enhance my research and academic interests but also an excellent opportunity to meet other like-minded young research scientists. A major theme exemplified in many of the keynote addresses was that as an ISEF Finalist, we were amongst our future peers and collaborators. Taking the message to heart, I was able to interact and develop rich connections with other Finalists, not only from the United States but from around the world.

As for my future goals, I have been passionate about pursuing a career in medicine ever since I can remember. I have fond memories of my father taking me on "rounds" as a child to the hospital and introducing me to the medical/graduate students, nurses and fellow physicians. Ideally, my long- term goal is to combine my love for medicine and research and pursue a MD/PhD. The thought of combining research and clinical based medicine is thrilling and poses a plethora of varied research questions. The possibilities of discovery and innovation are limitless.
