I’m Nimish, a sophomore at Brown concentrating in APMA-CS &

Economics. I’ve done research in financial engineering to minimize

climate change impact. I’ve taken linear algebra in high school, and
have used it extensively in classes such as Computer Vision and
Artificial Intelligence. I

n terms of programming experience, I’ve taken the two classes

mentioned above, along with Functional Programming, and Data
Structures. I will be taking Software Engineering and Data Science
this semester. I’m also TAing Data Structures this semester. For
professional experience, I interned at Quicken Loans last summer,
as an SWE intern. Here, I began to learn the limitations of current
technology and programming tools, leading me to be more
interested in quantum computing.

I learned that Quantum Computing allows information transfer to

be much faster, as data is encoded into bits that can represent
more than just a 0 or 1. We can do things such as cracking RSA
encryption. I’d like to learn more at this camp about this topic,
along with other topics such as applications in data science and
optimization problems.
