Bio




Hi, I’m Sander, a junior at Columbia University, studying
applied physics, computer science, and mechanical engineering. My current interests are in nuclear energy (fusion and fission), where I hope to work with startups to pave the way to cheap clean energy.

I have worked at the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab since my freshman year (left). My current research involves FEM modeling and data-based dynamic system identification with machine learning. I also worked at the retail robotics startup Onki, where I helped build a robotics simulation.

Currently, I’m working on multiple personal projects including a bipedal robot, an electric arc furnace, and an interactive online quantum particle simulation.

I’m also on the executive board of Columbia’s Nuclear is Clean Energy club, where I help schedule events and meetings for 60+ members, and work on the consulting team to help developing nuclear startups.  

I also wrestle for Columbia’s D1 varsity wrestling team (right).
