Intern
Nathanael Owusu ๐บ๐ธ
Research Associate, Intern, AI
Nathanael Owusu is a Mathematics major with a minor in Computer Science at Macaulay Honors Baruch College. His interest in data science and machine learning grew out of his naturally indecisive personality. Throughout his childhood, he often struggled to make decisions and would dive into deep research on even the most niche questions just to find clarity. Discovering a field that uses data to drive efficient decision-making was a breakthrough for him. Through his work at AI4Purpose, he hopes to reduce indecisiveness and help create a space where ethical AI is used thoughtfullyโnot only to solve problems but to inspire new solutions. Outside of academics, he enjoys playing basketball, reading philosophy, and exploring new hobbies that challenge him. He thrives on the grind of selfโimprovement; starting from zero and progressing day by day is what makes the journey meaningful to him. Nathanael is excited to learn, grow, and create with AI4Purpose Advisory.
