Officers

Kwanwoo Park

President, Class of 2024

Kwanwoo is a second-year from Great Falls, VA, majoring in Chemistry and minoring in Japanese. His favorite SciOly event is Food Science, although he has never competed in the event before. His greatest SciOly memories was bonding with teammates on the way to Cornell Invitational during 2019.

Sophia Jang

Vice President, Class of 2024

Sophia is a third-year from Syosset, NY, majoring in Global Public Health and Biology. Her favorite SciOly event is Microbe Mission (where are our biology nerds at?) Her favorite SciOly moments were probably at the first invitational and EXTREMELY chaotic last state tournament in 2019. Special shout-out to the stuffed animals along the way.

Alvin Meng

Secretary, Class of 2025

Alvin is a second-year from Vienna, VA, majoring in Chemistry and Mathematics. Among his favorite events are Astronomy, Dynamic Planet (but only tectonics!), and Chemistry Lab, though a part of him wishes that he did more build events. His greatest SciOly memories must be from those trips he went on with his team, not the least of which is The Soup Saga (which is much too long for this little blurb – and no, it’s not related to the invitational).

Samyu Belde

Treasurer, Class of 2025

Bio coming soon!

Medha Prakash

Outreach Officer, Class of 2023

Medha is a fourth-year from Portland, OR, majoring in Environmental Science and Statistics with a minor in Astronomy. She is an absolute rock nerd – no wonder her favorite event was Rocks and Minerals! Her favorite memory from SciOly was during Nationals in 2019, when she and her teammates stayed up all night playing sardines, doing karaoke, and playing truth or dare.

Diana Park

Graphics Designer, Class of 2025

Diana is a second-year from Herndon, VA, intending to major in either Biology or Biochemistry. Her favorite SciOly event is Ornithology, and she’s got the track record to back it up. (Ask her about the time she placed at Regionals despite feeling absolutely clueless!)

Shreyas Mayya

Technology Specialist, Class of 2026

Shreyas is a first-year from Lorton, VA, intending to major in Computer Science. Favorite SciOly events of his include Codebusters, Sounds of Music, and Thermodynamics (yay physics events!) His favorite SciOly memories have to be all the Mafia games he played with his high school team and the hilarity that ensued.
