  2. RELAY

Step into the Lab

Hi, I’m Susmit.

I’m a senior at Academy of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, taking classes at College of the Canyons along the way. I want to understand how minds work, which is pulling me toward neuroscience, cognitive science and computational biology.

  • Start with the person.

    Every project begins with someone who needs to be understood, not with a technology.

  • Plain words win.

    If a family can’t read it at a glance, it doesn’t work yet.

  • Don’t fake the data.

    Real numbers or no numbers. Honest beats impressive.

Dancer. Painter. Tutor. Volunteer. Science Olympian.
