Hi! My name is Shanmukh Bachhu, and I am currently a junior in High School. I'm an aspiring water resources engineer and am currently invested in environmental science research studying polyfluoroalkyl substances in Riverside's groundwater aquifers. You'll also find me at competitions under my school's Vex Robotics Team or around the Southern California area, competing in a multitude of Model United Nations conferences.

​

I joined InnovativeSTEMagazine because it helps educate students from across the world about the discoveries in STEM while spreading interests. I am also part of MME Networks to increase the drive for academic research as well as EngineeringPivot helping the engineers of tomorrow. Many students go into STEM not truly finding that initial spark, and lacking the drive to succeed in Engineering. I helped co-found EngineeringPivot to help connect students to readers, helping students across the world to learn about the various research students like them are doing.

Oh, I also love boba.
