A target of a C. Prescott Davis scholarship, Gleb Vizitiv was a rising star in his local Moldova (“A tiny though pleasing republic in Eastern Europe,” he explains) prolonged before he came to New York City. He invented a intelligent heat-filtering glass, that placed during a Intel International Science and Engineering satisfactory in 2015, and, after carrying witnessed a automobile crash, grown a captivating reserve automobile complement regulating an electromagnetic-layer to furnish a margin that can revoke kinetic appetite in a collision. He also co-founded a module called Smart Physical Approach out of Chișinău, Moldova’s capital, charity giveaway production education for high schoolers opposite a nation.
“I adore fanciful physics, though infrequently feel that if my formulas sojourn on a blackboard afterwards my systematic work competence miss applicability,” Vizitiv says. “That’s accurately because we chose engineering: production provides a black and white sketch, while engineering gives a color.”
So distant during Columbia, Vizitiv has worked on a project, “Regulation of deviation transmittance by electro-optic technologies,” dictated to revoke a appetite expenditure of atmosphere conditioning systems. His favorite initial division march is Lecturer David Vallancourt’s intro to electrical engineering.
In his giveaway time, Vizitiv enjoys teaching, photography, and exploring a Metropolitan Museum of Art. He hopes for a career in training and circuit design, generally building next-generation batteries.
“You never know what extraordinary discoveries can be done tomorrow,” he says, “and that’s beautiful!”
