I am an incoming astrodynamics Ph.D. student at The University of Texas at Austin with dual degrees in aerospace engineering and applied math major from the University of Colorado Boulder.
My interest in space has been with me since I was very young (I started out with astronomy from my backyard in Germany when I was only three or four years old and haven't stopped since then), but my interest in aerospace engineering was more recent - I wanted to combine my interests in the aerospace field, programming, math, physics, and engineering, and aerospace engineering provided me a perfect way to do so.
I've been interested in computer science for a long time (I started coding in Scratch when I was in elementary school, moved on to Python, Java, and other languages in high school, and now code primarily in MATLAB and C++); I continue to pursue my interest in programming through a minor in computer science.
I've been interested in math even longer than computer science; I remember being gifted a book on the history of mathematics when I was in elementary school and bringing it with me on a family trip to Italy (during which I read the whole thing). Both pure and applied math are very intriguing to me, although (since it aligns better with engineering) I am now pursuing an additional major in applied math.
