Hi everyone! My name is Dylan Robinson and I am a sophomore at MIT. I am originally from Hong Kong and am studying physics and mathematical economics (Course 8 and 14-2). Some of my interests outside of the classroom include the lightweight rowing team, research in the Department of Nuclear Science, and, of course, MUN! I have both chaired and been a delegate at many MUN conferences, starting as a seventh grader in middle school. I am excited to meet and work with everyone during this conference!

Hi, I'm Maya and I'm an incoming junior at MIT. I'm planning on studying Computer Science with the hopes of going forward with an AI/ML track. I have done MUN in both high school and college, and have loved both attending conferences as a delegate as well as chairing. Outside of MITMUNC, I'm involved in an ML research project and Greek life. In my free time, I love puzzles, reality game show competitions, and playing tennis.
