Background
| Bio | Hey! I’m Josh, and I am a Sophomore at Brown University. I’m planning on majoring in Computer Science with interests in Visual Computing and Software Principles. I’m also an avid researcher in the Cognitive and Human Behavioral studies, specifically in emotional and artificial intelligence. In high school, I did research in Human Behavior, specifically about Positive Psychology and the concept of “happiness.” Along with research, I did swimming for a decade and was an editor for our school’s yearbook (“The Lair”). I currently have a YouTube Channel (@joshbenzon), where it surrounds my college life and other fun and random topics. Feel free to subscribe, and watch some of my videos! I’d be ecstatic to help you with anything throughout the college process! |
