My name is Tor Svendsen and I am a junior at Marin Academy. I was drawn into the MARC program because of my love of science and the freedom it offered in a normal academic setting. I am currently working with Steve Bryson of the NASA Ames Research Center, helping him in his work of creating an automated vetting system for TESS light curves. Outside of MARC, I enjoy sailing (pictured below), piano, and playing chess and GeoGuessr.
