Treasurer

Hey Everyone! My name is Sanjay and I am a second year CS major! I am involved in AI/ML research specifically with adversarial attacks and defense mechanisms and also with image classification/detection. Outside of class I love editing in my free time, watching anime, and doom scrolling on TikTok. A fun fact about me is that I used to move states so much I had to continue studying 4th grade in 3 different schools! I'm so excited to be your treasurer for this semester!
