Logan Brassington
My name is Logan Brassington and I am a CIS major from Trappe, PA (just an hour outside of Philly). Before coming to Penn, I was a day student at a Pennsylvania boarding school. My freshman year college house was Fisher Hassenfeld. On campus, I am a part of the Penn Engineering Council, which is the Pre-Professional branch of the Penn Engineering Quad Board. I also work as a student researcher at the Wharton Behavioral Lab which executes psychological studies for researchers across the country. This summer I am interning with Pfizer’s Vaccine R&D Informatics team at a facility in upstate New York. This experience is a great opportunity for me to learn firsthand how technology can be effectively applied to improve business processes and operations. For fun you can find me in Pottruck or running along the Schuylkill River. I am also a big foodie and I recommend everyone checkout what the Philly food scene has to offer. I am excited to meet everyone in the fall!
Sahith Jagarlamundi
I am Sahith Jagarlamudi, a junior in the school of engineering majoring in Networked and Social Systems Engineering and sub matriculating into a masters program in Computer Science. I am passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems. My interests lie in the fields of machine learning, quantitative finance, problem solving, and algorithms. At Penn, I’m a part of the men’s club volleyball team and was a core member of the Multi cultural exchange community house last year. I am also a part of the Jet Engine Team on the Penn Aerospace club, as a control system engineer working to help the Design Build fly competition team. In my free time I love running along the Schuylkill river trail, heading to pottruck and watching movies with my roommates and floor mates.
Chad Karimanasseri
Hey everyone! My name’s Chaitanya (“Chad”), and I’m a rising senior at Penn from Central NJ. I’m studying Bioengineering and hoping to pursue a career in academic surgery and engineering. At Penn, I conduct cardiac engineering research and lead various student groups, such as the Penn Pre-Medical Association and Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honors Society. I’m also a Rachleff Scholar in the Engineering School and a Program Leader for PennQuest, the outdoors pre-orientation program for first-year students. As you can probably tell, I have a lot of different interests both related to (and not related to) medicine, but I especially love to read and hike with friends. I know it can be overwhelming to read/hear about all the different options you have to explore at Penn, so feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I’m excited to meet all of you!
