Sarang Shah

Sarang Shah will graduate in the spring from Georgia Tech with a major in Physics and Public Policy. During his four years, Sarang has founded a number of student initiatives geared towards environmental activism and political dialogue, including a campus-wide recycling program, a water conservation campaign, and a Yellow Jacket Round Table to bring together student leaders to discuss and help solve campus issues. When Sarang learned of a State bill that he considered would inhibit free speech on campus, he fought passionately against it, testifying before the State House Committee on Higher Education, raising awareness on campus, and authoring a resolution opposing the bill. The bill was defeated, and Sarang was credited for his role in its defeat. In addition to his political advocacy, Sarang has conducted research in the field of theoretical neuroscience and developed textual analysis software to help map data. Sarang will study mathematical physics at Trinity College Dublin.
