Alexander Yoon

I am an aspiring data scientist and computer science student with a passion for using machine learning for predictive modeling. On campus, I stay engaged by mentoring students in Linear Algebra through EdX, being an active member of the boxing club, and enjoying outdoor activities like running and hiking.

Madeline Laesser

I am a fourth-year undergraduate studying atmospheric and oceanic sciences, and I have a focus in meteorology. At Georgia Tech, I am a TA, the president of the AMS chapter, and the vice president of Sigma Gamma Epsilon (the Earth Science Honor Society). After my graduation in May 2025, I plan to pursue a PhD to continue my education in atmospheric science. In my free time, I enjoy reading and playing tennis.

Achyutan Narayanan

I am a 3rd-year CS major and EAS minor. I joined the team due to my interest in data analysis in relation to climate change and so far have had an amazing time! Outside of academics, I also like to compose music, go to the gym, play piano, chess, and of course, video games (mainly Minecraft).

Joseph Yoo

I am a second-year undergraduate studying Computer Science, with concentrations in Intelligence and Modeling & Simulation. Outside of my classes, I am a member of the Student Center Programs Council (SCPC) and working in a team in RoboJackets, both at Georgia Tech. After I complete my undergraduate degree in August 2025, I plan on pursuing a Master’s degree in either math or physics..
