Hi! My name is Diego Temkin, and I'm from a region called the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, right up along the US-Mexico border. My parents both immigrated to the US from Mexico.
I attended the South Texas ISD Science Academy, a STEM magnet school in the region. I participated in a variety of science and engineering related extracurriculars, while ensuring I always took a challenging courseload. Furthermore, I maintained a job tutoring children from all grades in mathematics, even virtually throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, at MIT, I've engaged in a variety of activities and projects, ranging from personal fun projects (like this website!) to research through funded labs. I hope this site can serve as a catalog of everything I've done and continue to do, and will operate far into the future, no matter where life takes me :)
