Greetings for the 2023-2024 School Term's Commencement
At Princeton University, a group of exceptional students are making their mark, not only in their academic pursuits but also as correspondents for various fields. These dedicated individuals, each with unique research interests, are shaping the discourse within their respective disciplines.
In the Humanities Correspondent role, Kate Weseley-Jones '25 and Shane Patrick '24 are leading the way. Weseley-Jones, with a concentration in Art History, has a broad research interest in ancient art, heritage conservation, behavioural science, and gender studies. Meanwhile, Patrick '24, who majors in Near Eastern Studies, focuses on Religious Communities in the Medieval Middle East, Christian-Muslim Relations, Translation, and Numismatics. Patrick '24 is also involved in cataloguing Arabic coins in the university's numismatic collection and is a part of the Catholic community on campus.
In the realm of Engineering, Alexis Wu '25 and Yubi Mamiya '26 stand out. Wu '25, the Engineering Correspondent with a concentration in Computer Science, is passionate about human-computer interaction, ethics of computing, accessible design, and education. Mamiya '26, who hails from Shoreline, WA, has a concentration in Computer Science and certificates in Engineering Biology and Global Health and Health Policy. Mamiya '26's goals involve developing artificial intelligence-based software to improve the effectiveness and accessibility of healthcare for underserved communities.
Shannon Yeow '26, from San Diego, California, holds the title of both Engineering and Social Sciences Correspondent. In Engineering, she concentrates in Computer Science, while in Social Sciences, her research interests lie in Avionics, Flight Software, Robotics, Technology and Society, Human-Computer Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, and more. Outside of academics, Yeow '26 enjoys playing sports, spending time outdoors, and hunting down the free food on campus.
Xander Jenkin '25, the Natural Sciences Correspondent, has a concentration in Astrophysics and a minor in Medieval Studies. Rebecca Cho '26, the Natural Sciences Correspondent with a concentration in Geosciences and a certificate in Cognitive Science, rounds out the team.
While the search results do not provide specific information about the 2021-2022 correspondents for the Princeton University blog or their research interests, it is clear that these students are making significant contributions to their fields and the university community. For more detailed information, readers are encouraged to check the university's official communications or academic publications.
Kate Weseley-Jones '25 and Shane Patrick '24 are using their personal growth and education-and-self-development, including art history, ancient art, heritage conservation, behavioural science, gender studies, and religious communities in the Medieval Middle East, to contribute significantly to the Humanities field. Alexis Wu '25 and Yubi Mamiya '26 are leveraging their learning in computer science, human-computer interaction, education, engineering biology, global health and health policy, and artificial intelligence to shape the engineering landscape.
