Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Rushka is a PhD student in Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics at Northwestern University with a strong foundation in physics and mathematics from Georgetown, where he published research in mathematical physics based on a 40,000+ word honors thesis. He brings a rare blend of theoretical and experimental research experience, hands-on teaching from high school to university levels, and a deep commitment to mentorship developed during a year as a Jesuit novice and multiple campus ministry roles. Comfortable translating abstract operator-algebraic methods into publishable results, he enjoys making challenging math accessible—evidenced by years of classroom instruction in algebra, precalculus, AP calculus, and office-hour tutoring. Now pursuing applied math at the doctoral level, he leverages both pedagogical skill and rigorous research training to tackle interdisciplinary problems in engineering and mathematical physics.
