Emmanuel C.
Emmanuel is a New Jersey native with a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry from the University of South Florida and a minor in Psychology. After heavy involvement in undergraduate research, he realized that automation and artificial intelligence is the future of discovery. Upon graduating, Emmanuel attended Cornell Tech and received a Master’s of Engineering in Computer Science for that reason, and now works with a pharmaceutical startup designing compounds for cancer, COVID-19, and drug resistant bacteria.
He is delighted to help students with exam anxiety, homework, online modules, writing scientifically, competitive resumes, textbook breakdowns, research positions, and anything to do with drug discovery. To Emmanuel, research is central to any education. During his undergraduate career, Emmanuel worked on a variety of projects ranging from artificial protein synthesis against cancer to the study of magnetic waves to characterize chemical structure. These pursuits were fueled by his passion to understand the human mind and aid discoveries for mental illness treatments. Upon entering his master’s program, Emmanuel founded a platform “Anchor” that groups loved ones and fosters communication after invasive surgery to ensure safe recovery.
The ability to share knowledge is a complete joy, and Emmanuel has found himself in many STEM-oriented tutoring positions. Beginning with a class of twenty students teaching undergraduate chemistry peer sessions to mentoring a group of students through their science degrees, he has found that helping others appreciate science is a most rewarding investment. Emmanuel believes that fundamentals are integral to holistic understanding and enjoys boiling down complex topics into their most simple parts. As someone who nearly failed math in high school, then with correct coaching, became a machine learning researcher in the pharmaceutical world, he believes that all students have incredible potential.
When Emmanuel is not running simulations or thinking on synthetic chemistry routes, he is probably coding on his Raspberry Pi, learning to read music, working on his kickflip, playing with his kitty Luna, cooking, or practicing Jiu Jitsu. Part of the first generation to attend a four year university in his family, Emmanuel loves to bring strong academic practices to students who are not accustomed to the college routine and lifestyle. He understands that learning best occurs when complimented with a healthy routine and will discuss with his students to establish a schedule that fosters success.
