Omer Mujawar

Co-President

Hi all! My name is Omer Mujawar, and I’m a junior in Leverett studying Computer Science and Government. I’m fascinated by the recent development of emerging technologies, like AI and ML, and I’m particularly interested in the intersection of tech, society, government, and ethics. I’ve been involved in HUMIC for over a year, previously serving as an AI Project Incubator lead for VeritasGPT, and I’m super excited to be co-president of HUMIC this upcoming year! I also enjoy teaching, having previously CA-ed for EC50 and currently TF-ing for CS50. If you have any questions about HUMIC, soccer, or pasta, feel free to reach out!

Helen He

Co-President

Hi! I'm Helen, a junior in Currier House studying a joint concentration in Computer Science and East Asian Studies. I study machine learning and classical literature, and I love to bridge gaps. I apply NLP, Computer Vision, and data visualization skills to empower multimedia storytelling about art and culture, and I hope to responsibly use AI to foster greater empathy for cultural diversity and humanity. I've been involved in HUMIC since Fall 2023, and I love this passion-based learning community with incredible diversity in the applications of ML. I hope you can join us to learn more about ML, build projects together, or simply chat and share ideas in this supportive and creative space!

Aarna Pal-Yadav

Director, AI Project Incubator

Hello! My name is Aarna Pal-Yadav, and I am a rising sophomore in Kirkland concentrating in Computer Science and Economics with a secondary in Integrative Biology. I have always been a naturalist and have a particular passion for ornithology. Last semester, as part of the AI Project Incubator, I had the amazing opportunity to apply my technical skills in computer science and AI to my love of birds to help develop Birdingdex, an AI-powered bird identification and tracking app that gamifies conservation efforts to connect more people with nature. This semester, I have the honor of directing the AI Project Incubator. I hope to empower students from all backgrounds to learn about and leverage AI for meaningful projects.

As a Sophomore at Kirkland studying CS and Stats/Applied Math, I'm fascinated by the current AI revolution. HUMIC offers an incredible opportunity to ride this wave of innovation while forging meaningful connections. Originally from South Africa, I'm deeply passionate about education's transformative power. My interests span from cutting-edge big tech research to bold startup ventures. When I'm not immersed in tech and academics, you'll find me on the soccer field.

Director, Social and Community

My name is TingTing Yan and I’m a junior in Mather House studying Human Developmental & Regenerative BIology and Computer Science. I’m very interested in the application of AI/ML in life sciences research and in health care. In my free time, I enjoy playing Team Fight Tactics, poker, and catching up on Grey’s Anatomy (there’s so many seasons ;D). Fun fact, I LOVE LOVE LOVE green tea ice cream from Berryline. I visit at least once per week. Definitely add it to your bucket list item before graduation. I look forward to organizing the amazing social events for HUMIC!
