About
Hello, I'm Atlas
It's nice to meet you!
I'm a curious and driven college student currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Bachelor's degree in Physics at the University of Missouri - Kansas City (UMKC). I am also a UMKC Trustees' Scholar!
As an aspiring researcher, I'm thrilled by the concept of exploring the unknown, and in the future I hope to contribute to cutting edge research in either theoretical astrophysics or quantum computing. My academic pursuits are fueled by a deep curiosity and a drive to challenge the limits of what we know.
When I'm not immersed in my studies, you can find me working on personal projects, hanging out with my friends, or getting lost in a good book.
Although my journey is just beginning, I’m eager to connect with others who share a passion for science and the excitement of discovery. If you’re interested in discussing the latest innovations in STEM field or simply want to connect over shared interests, I’d be delighted to hear from you!
