Hello, I'm Aaron Van from Hamilton, Ontario, currently in my second year of mechanical engineering at McMaster University. My main hobbies include gaming, drawing, and calisthenics, which provide a balance between creativity, physical fitness, and relaxation.
Professionally, I am deeply fascinated by the potential of shaping future technology and advancing sustainability. This passion led me to pursue mechanical engineering, a field that seamlessly blends mathematics and physics to create optimized and effective machinery, robots, etc that can advance humanity.
In today's context, engineering plays a crucial role in sustainability, offering unique opportunities to innovate and minimize environmental impact. I am particularly drawn to this aspect of engineering, as it aligns with my goal of contributing to a more sustainable future.
