Hi everyone,
My name is Nitay Eshed, pronounced “KNEE-tie”. You can call me Nitay. I’m majoring in mechanical engineering with the interest of pursuing robotics as a field.
In terms of hobbies I like reading, tinkering, programming, cooking, learning, playing Magic: the Gathering, and Dungeons & Dragons.
I figured that learning about the Earth and its systems I can potentially identify problems that can be solved via robotics solutions. If anything, I can learn about the limitations a robot may have to deal with such as extreme pressure, heat, tectonic activity, and so forth to accomplish its task. Furthermore, the Earth is a very interesting and packed system to study, and since we live here it’s a good idea to know a little about how it works, so good ol’ curiosity drives me to here, too.
The conditions and effects of global warming are interesting to me because the solutions to these problems are definitely technological, and can absolutely be done at a profit. Understanding the effects of what’s happening with global warming can help us understand what may happen, and what *is* happening, to see where we can have market incentivization to fix many of the problems (for instance, carbon sequestration can be done at a profit by using the CO2 to produce plastic products). We can also mitigate earthquake damage by potentially predicting them, which is itself also ane ffect of a warming Earth. Global warming is a pressing issue with a lot of potential to be solved while benefitting from the process of the solution and it begins by understanding the systems of the Earth.
Looking forward to working with you all and learning about the Earth together,
Nitay
