Erin Choi
Course: 24.02x Moral Problems and the Good Life
Erin Choi is a senior at Phillips Exeter Academy from Seoul, South Korea. She’s an avid violinist, Social Network fan, and classics student. Studying Latin literature in high school led to her interests in philosophy and psychology—she wants to learn more about how people think and communicate. Meanwhile, also passionate about social justice and service work, she took this Intro Ethics course for more perspectives on what she owes to her community and how she should balance personal and collective interests. She’s so excited to continue exploring all these questions as she carves out her space in college and beyond. You can reach her at 36erinchoi@gmail.com!

Saran Sankar
Course: 24.118x Paradox and Infinity
I live in Kerala, a state in southern India. I am now about to complete my bachelors degree. I love to think about the nature of reality, reason and life. Appreciation of art, literature and music is an important part of my life. Anything to which it is possible to attribute meaning and is beautiful interests me, and it has always been hard for me to choose between them when I had to. However I have made it my decision to make mathematics and theoretical physics my primary focus since what I really want to see is a convincing theory of quantum gravity, and I want to contribute to the amazing community that is working towards it with whatever I can give.
