Hi. My name is Neeraj ("Nee"), and I'm a member of the 2003 RUSIS program headed by Prof. J. Rojo. I'm a rising sophomore from Fairfax, VA (just outside Washington DC). I'm studying mathematics at Columbia in Manhattan. As you've probably guessed, I love math and all its related fields (stats, physics, philosophy,..). I want to eventually go to grad. school and study something cool like mathematical physics or pure mathematics. On a less technical note, I enjoy running, music of all types, a good chuckle, reading, and (more recently) the art of cooking. I hope to see as much of the world as is humanly possible in future years. On a final note, Houston is a great place, and I've had a blast here at Rice these past weeks!!
