Josh is from Bellevue, NE, and is studying computer engineering and physics. His non-profit experience includes partnering with the Walter Scott, Jr. Scholarship Program. As part of a community action project, his team was tasked to create a visualization of the Scott Scholars network. This will allow current scholars and alumni to remain connected and to create a stronger alumni network moving forward. His leadership experience includes serving as a student consultant for Civic Nebraska. In this role, he led a design thinking process to produce viable solutions and moderated group discussions. His research experience includes working on a project in the physics lab with his faculty mentor, Dr. Ryan Riskowski. In this research, he created a model for the distance-dependent dipole-dipole interaction of MRI contrast agents and nanoparticles, with the eventual purpose of creating MRI contract agents connected with a variable-length connector to nanoparticles to perform more precise MRI scans of the internal regions of living organizations. His career interests include computer hardware, ranging from the details of their construction to the multitude of options for their application.
