Aadrik Dua

I'm Aadrik Dua, a dedicated aerospace engineering student (6th Semester) at Chandigarh University with a strong academic background and a passion for mathematics and Cosmology. My consistent performance in high school and standardized tests reflects my commitment to academic excellence and critical thinking. Beyond academics, I have honed my leadership skills as former Head of Technical committee (CUAC), present CR of my batch appointed since first Semester, head boy in grade 12 and as a representative in various extracurricular activities, including being part of the state-level basketball team. My involvement in debates and interviews during the pandemic has further enhanced my communication abilities. At university, I joined the Astronomy Club and quickly became head of the technical committee. Participating in events like NASA's Space App Challenge and ISRO's Rover Challenge has allowed me to apply my mathematical knowledge to real-world aerospace challenges. I am also passionate about hands-on learning, having organized events and developed projects such as a solar position detecting system and a prototype EVTOL aircraft model. Currently also working on a research Paper on Interplanetary transfer networks. In summary, I am a driven individual eager to explore new opportunities and make meaningful contributions to the field of aerospace engineering and Sciences.
