Bio

Lucia is passionate about mathematics and computer science, especially in areas where they intersect- such as number theory, logic, and cryptography- with a growing interest in their applications to national security. She has conducted original mathematics research on the Three Gap Theorem through Indiana University, which is currently being prepared for publication, and is an alumna of the Ross Mathematics Program. Deeply committed to ethical inquiry, she contributes cultural and political commentary to a student editorial journal and has pursued advanced coursework in philosophy and formal logic. Lucia competes on the Math Team and Varsity Track team, mentors young girls through Big Sisters Little Sisters, and volunteers at a local food pantry. She enjoys comedy, A24 horror films, and considers the series Freaks and Geeks an underrated classic.
