 Hi there, my name is Simmer Mohanani and I attended LRISF back in 2014 as a participant and I've worked there every summer since as a staff member because I literally couldn't get over how amazing and inspirational the forum is year upon year. After the forum I fell ahead of her heels in love with London, a global hub of opportunities, the spontaneity of its art and the true intermingling of cultures from all across the globe. So I was really excited to hopefully one day come back and make it my hometown. Ever since graduating last summer I've been really fortunate to actually make this dream come true and I'm currently working in London as a technology consultant in systems engineering at Deloitte. It is no cliché to say that LRISF changed my world in so many ways. In fact it was actually at the department of chemical engineering at Imperial College where I first discovered that I could apply my favourite subjects, maths and chemistry together to really create some amazing things like sequester CO2 underground or create artificial blood or create hydrogen from algae. And after I stumbled upon chemical engineering there I knew this is exactly what I want to do. And so I applied to the University of Bath in the UK to actually study chemical engineering and I haven't looked back since. In fact the first person that I knew over there from my course was actually a fellow LRISF participant who was from Spain in 2014. And in fact over the five years of my chemical engineering degree we actually lived together and she's still one of my closest friends still today. That's how communal LRISF makes the whole world feel. For me LRISF has always been a lens into the most cutting edge science of our time and a revelation of real models that I can one day aspire to being. But more than anything for me LRISF is an international family, knowing that you have friends for life scattered across the globe and that together your part is something that's so much bigger than ourselves. This is LRISF.
