Shanay Wadhwani
I’m a first year student in the DSAN program. I grew up in Mumbai, India and studied at Hamilton College, NY. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with computers and the ever-increasing power of the compute technology around us. This cutting edge field has so many applications which GU allows its students to access, gain experience in, and even master. It is also forever evolving and I try my best to stay abreast of new developments in the field. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer, chess, reading Russian literature or any fiction I can get my hands on, and cooking some simple foods. I’m always happy to connect and talk data!
Hermann Fan
I’m a second-year student in the Data Science and Analytics (DSAN) program. I completed my undergraduate studies at George Washington University and have lived in Washington, DC, for several years. My research interests focus on Applied Time Series Analysis and Natural Language Processing, especially in areas involving financial forecasting and news sentiment. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing and studying the game of GO, which has sharpened my strategic thinking. I’m also a passionate ice hockey player and love watching the Caps play. I’m excited to learn and collaborate with all of you!
Akshay Arun
I am a second semester student in the DSAN program. I grew up in the town of Monroe, NJ and studied at Georgetown as an undergrad, getting a degree in Economics and joining the DSAN accelerated program in Spring 2025. In my free time I enjoy cooking and playing Chess and GeoGuessr. The DSAN program has gotten me excited to explore the seemingly endless possibilities of Data Science as it’s kept me up to date and prepared for the constantly-developing field. I’m always available to chat about the program or anything at all!
