Director for Information Technology
Advait Sarkar (Emmanuel)
Hi there, I'm Advait, a third year CompSci from Emma. My work mostly involves maintaining the SciSoc website, making sure everything is working and current, and helping to set up the projectors and displays before each talk. I also help Julia maintain our online presence on social networks and talks.cam. My joining SciSoc was the product of a series of strange coincidences, but I'm glad it all worked out the way it did. I can be contacted at it@scisoc.com.
