Recommendations: some I've read, some I'm currently reading.
π Proud Filipino: I am a low-income international student from the Philippines. I am currently a third-year undergraduate at Duke on a full scholarship [Karsh Scholar].
π ECE, CS: I am pursuing a double major in electrical and computer engineering and computer science with a concentration in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
π¨π½βπ» Code for Good: Computer engineer by training, climate researcher by heart. With satellite remote sensing and AI, I want to work on present-day problems of climate change and environmental justice. To supplement my knowledge on policies for emerging tech, I am also pursuing a certificate in Digital Intelligence (Science and Society) at Duke.
π¨π½βπ« Educator: Acknowledging my educational privileges, I have always strived to share what I learn. This calling is deeply rooted by my witnessing of the wide gaps of educational opportunities in the Philippines. Countering its expansion is something I look forward to.
π Climate Justice: This summer, I started my project named PlanetTales that aims to share stories about the impacts of climate change to the most remote and vulnerable areas of the world, stories not only shared with words but also images, videos, and data to encapsulate and give justice to peopleβs experiences. Funded by my scholarship, my project's first stop was my hometown in the Philippines. Check out the [website]!
π«Άπ½ Quality Education for All: When I was a junior in high school, my friend and I started an initiative composing of high school tutors teaching Math, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics to fellow high school students. We called it [Ο-oneers]. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to sustain its operations when I moved to US for college.
More coming soon...
