Utah, USA

A high school senior from Salt Lake City, Jayashabari is extremely excited to be serving on the 2023 Future Blue Youth Council. She is deeply interested in the intersection of science and the humanities, particularly in relating to the environment. Her work has been recognized and published in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times High School Insider, United Nations’ ISSCY Competition, and the University of Edinburgh’s New Americanist Journal. Jayashabari’s natural language processing research on history education has been published in the European Union’s TODO Open Data Project. In the future, she would also like to look at the impact of different NLP models on environmental education, perhaps while working part-time in science journalism.
