Riya Setty
My name is Riya, and I’m a senior majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Cognitive Science! I’m from Newark, Delaware, but spent my most recent semester studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh and have spent summers in DC and San Francisco through my internships. I lived in Ware College House my first year and absolutely loved it; I still miss the Quad to this day! At Penn, I’m a TA for CIS 1200 and CIS 3500, and I run Professional Development for the Women in Computer Science organization. In my free time, I like to cook (although I’m definitely still learning), hike, read, and travel. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone!
Rohan Panday
Hey guys! My name is Rohan Panday, and I am a rising sophomore from Singapore! I am majoring in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I am super excited to meet all of you and help you transition into Penn Engineering! On campus, I am involved with the Engineering Deans’ Advisory Board, Penn Electric Racing, IEEE, and Wharton Undergraduates in Public Policy. I have also previously been a part of the Assembly of International Students and Penny Loafers A Capella. This summer, I will be participating in research at Penn as part of the ATLAS Experiment, particularly the liquid argon calorimeter at CERN. For fun, I enjoy playing squash, singing, watching movies, traveling, and going on walks with my friends! If you are interested in discovering more about any of these activities at Penn, the ESE department, or are still deciding what major to choose (I was choosing between 4 of them), I would love to get to know you and talk!
Vikki Xu
I’m from the Bay Area, and I’m a rising junior studying Materials Science and Engineering and Earth + Environmental Science (VIPER). On campus, I’m involved with the Theta Tau engineering fraternity, 34th Street Magazine, MSE Society, and research in the Vojvodic Lab. In my free time, I love exploring Philly, crocheting, playing guitar, and writing. Before starting at Penn, I took a gap year, and I was part of the PennGreen pre-orientation program. I’m always up to talk about all things energy/sustainability/environmental justice or to support the amazing performing arts groups around campus!
Vincent Cai
Hi! I’m Vincent, a rising junior from studying computer science, planning to do the accelerated master’s. At Penn, I’ve dabbled in some research, a couple clubs (PER, PennApps, PennLabs, but am only in the latter 2 currently), and quite a few sleepless nights. Before Penn, I went to a small school in Delaware where I was a part of my FTC team and ran track. This summer I’ll be interning in NYC. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, running, binging Youtube, and basketball. Anyway, congrats on Penn, excited to meet you all!
Jordyn Harris
Hello new Penngineers! My name is Jordyn and I’m from Baltimore, Maryland. I’m a rising junior in bioengineering (and GSWS and premed!). I love making digital art and Spotify playlists, so definitely ask me about those. At Penn, I’m in AOE (a STEM sorority), National Society of Black Engineers, SEAS Wellness, TAC-e, iNtuitons, and Penn Players, as well as doing audio/visual work for various groups across campus. I also work at Platt Student Performing Arts House and will be continuing my summer research in the Rehabilitation Robotics Lab during the year. I’m super excited to be meeting you all this summer and welcome to Penn!
