North Carolina Math Camp (NCMC)
High Honors, top 15% of the cohort
- Selected for the 2025 North Carolina Math Camp (Session 1), an international program run by Director Hubert L. Bray of Duke University. Two weeks covered number theory, cryptography, group theory, quaternions, game theory and its applications to economics, differential geometry, knot theory, topology of surfaces, and general relativity.
- Wrote and presented a final paper, "Math in Cryptography," explaining the theorems behind cryptography and comparing different types of encryption. The evaluation called it "extremely clear and precise," with strong use of examples to make challenging concepts easy to follow.
- Completed the program with High Honors, a designation reserved for the top 15% of the cohort.
