Mary is interested in using engineering principles to solve complex problems related to</span></font><span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">socioeconomic inequality </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">in the United States. While at Cooper, she has written for the school paper, played on the basketball team, started a club that investigated the future impact of blockchains, and created a class about designing higher education policy.</span> |

| − | <span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">My personal and professional interests involve designing decentralized ecosystems that address existing healthcare and legal identity problems as a means to protect and empower individuals. I am focused on learning about and educating my peers on cryptographic systems and blockchain technology to efficiently approach these global issues.</span> | + | [[Category:Student Contributors]] |

| − | <span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">I first joined the Cooper community as a senior in high school to participate in Invention Factory, an intensive Cooper Union accelerator program. </span><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The selective program guides 20 students through a rigorous process of invention: Participants conceive of and prototype inventions, present their inventions each week to guest evaluators, file a provisional patent application and participate in a competition at which a panel of distinguished designers, inventors, engineers and patent attorneys choose the best inventions. Anushree Sreedhar and I won second place for our invention of the SEAL fire extingusiher, and have since been named MIT-Lemelson Finalists, Collegiate Inventor Competition Finalists, and a Venturewell E Team. </span></span>

| − | <span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last year, as a freshman, the relationships I developed with the student body enabled me to try and truly enjoy an electrical engineering course that informed the cryptographic research I did at my summer internship, play college basketball with girls I now call my best friends, and get involved in school politics in a way that empowered me and all of my classmates to work together to impact administrative decisions. I want to continue to collaborate with my classmates to improve our institution and perpetuate the ideals of Peter Cooper.</span>
