Long Islander Ayesha Chhugani, an Egleston Scholar, chose Columbia for 3 overarching reasons. First, a singular probability to pursue financial engineering as an undergraduate; second, a event to hide her studies in a Columbia Core and immeasurable farrago of a heading tellurian investigate university; and third, to do it all in a energetic collateral of business and enlightenment that is New York City.
In further to her passions for financial and entrepreneurship, honed with DECA, an general business training program, and interning in genuine estate with Douglas Elliman, Chhugani conducted production investigate during Stony Brook University on superconductors, fixation as a semifinalist during a Siemens Competition and a Intel Science Talent Search among other accolades. She also conducted chemistry investigate during New York University examining a clear polymorphism of glycine and was an active member of her high propagandize robotics club.
“Within operations research, there are so many opposite applications since each association and classification relies on analytics,” she says. “I’m vehement to request those skills to companies that seductiveness me.”
So far, Chhugani has gotten concerned with a Columbia Science Review and CU INFORMS, that convenes students meddlesome in operations investigate and government science. When not heightening her entrepreneurial astuteness she is a clinging tennis actor and enjoys exploring a New York culinary scene.
“The many sparkling thing about being an engineer is a unconstrained possibility,” she says.
