ABOUT ME

I am Arjun Maneesh Agarwal, currently pursuing a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science at Chennai Mathematical Institute, expected graduation: 2027.

My intrest basically lies in using techiniques in Math and CS to model, predict and understand social and behavioural dynamics; and use it to make better mechanisms and better choices.

FOR FUN

I love organizing things and seeing other people have fun — here are a few things I helped do:

Tesselate 2025 Integration Bee
CMI's annual fest has an integration bee. I co-managed 2025 edition with Piyush Kumar Jha. We made the website, questions, slides and the format in a single week.

Don't Just Take CS(E)
I did a bunch of panal interviews to convince people to not just take CS and go for their intrests and passions by talking to people who took branch x in place of CS. Because the world needs engineers and researchers in every field; not python zombies in one.
