About Neil:
I am a fourth-year from the Systems Engineering department and my research interests lie in air traffic control. Post-graduation, I will be joining EY as a Technology Consultant. After an enjoyable experience as a 2110 student, I had the chance to join the TA team. I am very grateful for this opportunity and have enjoyed every minute of it! I would like to thank all of my professors, peers, and family for their support throughout my time here at UVA.
