Career goal: My current career goal is to become a mechanical engineer, researching brain computer interface technology. My long-term goal is to create a machine that remotely connects to the human brain to send sensorial data and receive instructions, allowing for a human to be given a remote-controlled mechanical body. I believe this will revolutionize exploration of space and our oceans, as well as allow for dangerous materials and environments to be dealt with without risk of losing human life.
