2022 Presidium
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 Xinyan, a rising sophomore at MIT majoring in bioengineering and am a crisis committee enthusiast. I have been participating in MUN since freshman year of high school and am a firm believer in the potential of international cooperation. In my free time I can be found playing video games, reading, attempting to learn digital art, and struggling to write fan translations.

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.

I am also pre-med and perform research at the intersection of computation and healthcare. I participate in Indian classical dance, and enjoy listening to Indian music and cooking in my free time. I have been a part of MITMUNC since freshman year and am going to be chairing this conference for the second time, so looking forward to all of your enthusiasm and debate!
