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!
