Mo Math & Physics

I am a junior studying aerospace engineering at the University of Southern California. I am passionate about STEM, and I am able to use my experience in tutoring and research to inspire other students to excel at and pursue science and engineering careers.

My year-long experience as a physics tutor consists essentially of working with college students, at the City University of New York, from different backgrounds including those from non-STEM majors. I believe I have left an impact on my past students where I was able to build valuable friendships even after the completion of their courses.

As an engineering student, I enjoy working on challenging projects that involve problem-solving. In the last spring, I had the opportunity to lead a group of four students to build an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with interesting systems including a combustion engine, steering structure, chassis, and frames. My responsibility was to help assess the progress of the project and assign particular tasks to each team member. This was an amazing opportunity to test my engineering knowledge and work with other ambitious partners.

I am also a member of the Rocket Propulsion Lab (RPL) at the University of Southern California. In this team, my responsibilities consist of developing CAD models and simulations of rocket components that we build at the lab. Last year we were able to build and recover the first students-designed and students-fabricated rocket to pass the Karman line, also known as the recognized boundary of space at 100 km.
