Academically, Aakash is a sophomore bioengineering student through the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering pursuing a minor in Industrial Engineering, a certificate in Nanoengineering and Nanotechnology, and a concentration in Medical Product Engineering.
Aakash's motivations for being a current University Innovation Candidate and future University Innovation Fellow lie primarily in spreading the knowledge and potentials of the design thinking and creative confidence processes to students of all majors, demographics and areas of study. Traditionally, the design thinking process has been a primarily engineering mentality, and the creative process has been majorly influenced by concepts of entrepreneurship and business thinking. Aakash views the design thinking model as something with greater potential than as it currently is with respect to appeal to students of all majors; design thinking and creative confidence can be adapted to appeal to students outside of engineering and business.
