Bio

Franklin Ho is passionate about math, biology and physics. He has explored the potential physics methods behind optimizing ignition conditions for nuclear fusion. He has attended the UCSC COSMOS Program to study astronomy and quantum physics and has conducted research into quiescent galaxies using absorption spectra fitting. Franklin is exploring computational analysis of physics using Python while conceptualizing math in new ways. At school, he is involved in Ethics Bowl and Science Bowl. He is also interested in philosophy's junction with STEM, such as the ethics of technology and how science is limited by human perception. He volunteers as a mentor to support and cultivate post-homeless students' interest in STEM. His hobbies include squash and classical piano performance, but during the pandemic, he has taken up an interest in running and contrapuntal composition. During past summers, he was an avid traveler around the world and the US and an explorer of history and culture.
