Hi! I am Paridhi (Pari) Latawa, a junior at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) in Austin, TX. I have a strong interest in computational and mathematical biology. Since joining Science Olympiad in 7th grade, I've fallen in love with science, specifically genomics!
Last year, I conducted an experiment analyzing the psychological factors behind the high school vaping pandemic. This project won the Superintendent Award at AERSF. This year, I have worked extensively on this study, and I am currently working on extending it through mathematical modeling. This paper won 2nd at AERSF and 2nd at the Texas Regeneron Science & Engineering Fair in the Cellular and Molecular Biology category. Apart from my research, I am the Founder and Executive Director of a nonprofit organization SparkED (IG) to increase educational equity & scientific literacy. I also play the viola in my school & region's orchestra. |
