Edward

Certified Tutor

In terms of credentials, I have a Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). My main area of academic focus was in biomaterials, which includes (but is not limited to) the study of cell biology, design and use of biological implants, and the design and delivery of drugs. I also pursued some undergraduate research in the area of Biocomputation, which involved utilizing algorithms to simulate biological processes. I also worked as a laboratory teaching assistant for Physics II for two years which involved working with a laboratory section of over 40 undergraduate students of various majors as well as helping to staff designated tutoring sessions for the course material, and briefly as a one-on-one Biomechanics tutor for a few months. I also participated in a few outreach programs (with RPI's Biomedical Engineering Graduate Council) which aimed to get young children involved and interested in science. I also studied the fundamentals of computer programming and data structures during my senior year of university, and have had an interest in programming ever since.

Outside of academics, I've been playing the bass guitar since I was 15, with two years of receiving formal instruction. I love playing Squash as well as Soccer (though not as well as the former, plus RIP USMNT but at least Poland qualified), and I also enjoy jogging as well. I also like to both read and write sci-fi, fantasy, and non-fiction currently. My favorite movie is Blade Runner, and no, I have not seen the sequel yet.

In terms of my own philosophy on education and my potential role in it, I believe that at the bare minimum, a high school diploma is a key requirement for one to be able have success in the adult world. I believe that I have the potential (through the knowledge I have obtained and my ability to problem solve) to help students in need work towards achieving that end goal, and more should they desire. So, that's why I'm here.
