Fellow:Mary Dwyer
My name is Mary Dwyer, and I am a mechanical engineering sophomore at The Cooper Union.
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.
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.
