Lada Protcheva 

Hello everyone! My name is Lada Protcheva, and I am a senior Computer Science student at Eastern Michigan University. My interest in programming was sparked quite a long time ago when I was still in high school in Ukraine. Additionally, I have been involved in equestrian sports for 11 years. However, due to time constraints, I currently only manage to go to the gym.
I am thrilled about the opportunity to be a part of the team at UMass Chan Medical School!

Raajveer Singh Sokhi

Hello, everyone! I'm Raaj, and I'm currently a senior at UMass Amherst pursuing a degree in Computer Science. Although I was born in the US, I was raised in India for the most part. I love exploring new technologies and how they can be integrated with art to create good products. Automation is one of my interests because I believe it has the potential to simplify both the lives of end-users and the development process itself. By automating repetitive tasks, we can shift our focus towards improving the end-user experience of a product.

In my free time, I often listen to a lot of music. I find that it influences my creativity, and I draw inspiration from it. In fact, I’m listening to "Too Many Nights" by Don Toliver while writing this. Lastly, to end on a fun note, I am currently the VP/co-captain of a collegiate dance team called UMass Jazba!

Grateful to have had this opportunity, and I'm excited to work with everybody!

"Hi, I am Surya Srinivasan. Recently graduated with an MS in Interactive Media and Game Development from WPI and am a lover of all things games. With a bachelor's in computer science, I focus more on the technical aspects of things, understanding and learning newer technologies. My goal at UMass Chan is to research more about Simulation and AI to create a useful product that can help people learn. On the funnier side, I love football (SOCCER), am an avid Manchester United Fan, and enjoy playing games of all genres from Pokémon to Power wash Simulator whenever I find time."
