I am Abhinav Mohan Kumar, a sophomore at Sai University in Chennai, India, majoring in Computing and Data Science. Driven by curiosity, I am passionate about learning across disciplines and love exploring new things, challenging perspectives—both mine and others’—and growing intellectually.

My academic interests span a wide spectrum as I value a multidisciplinary approach to understanding things. While my primary focus is on computer science and cognition, I am equally fascinated by economics, philosophy, finance, history, linguistics, music, psychology, and international relations. My journey into international relations led me to an enriching experience with Sherman Teichman, whose courses I had the pleasure of attending for two semesters. His mentorship broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for cross-disciplinary learning. Beyond academics, I have a diverse range of interests. I enjoy playing badminton and swimming, and I am an avid fan of racing and often participate in sim races. Additionally, I love watching movies and TV shows, particularly Star Trek, which explores various complex scientific and social themes.

I am grateful for the opportunity (and excited) to be part of the Trebuchet community, where I hope to contribute to meaningful initiatives. I look forward to learning from and collaborating with peers and mentors, and to making a positive impact.
