MEET A FELLOW

 “My journey at MIT has proven to be exceptionally enriching. I’ve forged connections with inspiring individuals, witnessed awe-inspiring feats of labor, contributed to projects of transformative potential, and pleasantly astonished myself with the heights I’ve reached. This vibrant community and nurturing environment genuinely cultivate both groundbreaking research and the researchers behind it. After God, I have this fellowship to thank for pushing me towards this incredible experience.”
