Biography
Jediah Thomas is a chemical engineering student from Bronx, New York. Thomas aspires to conduct research on sustainable energy systems and infrastructure for the benefit of marginalized communities. In a world where the inequitable distribution of resources furthers social division and holds significant repercussions in people's livelihood, it is not enough to reallocate resources; they must be expanded upon through innovative means in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Thomas' passion for generational impact within the communities that have invested in him manifests in his pursuit of expanding sustainable energy access and its equitable distribution. Thomas chooses to gain his foundation at Howard University because of this great institution's capacity to align the sciences, humanities, arts, and all disciplines to the collective endeavor of positively impacting our communities.
