DANIEL CHOI
Head of STEM
Daniel Choi attends Columbia University and graduated from St. Paul’s School. During his time at school, Daniel developed a keen interest in Physics and Mathematics. He has taken courses of the highest difficulty in both areas, one of which included an independently driven physics class where he explored quantum mechanics and general relativity. He received various prizes and accolades, among which is the Ferguson Scholarship, an award given to the top student in the grade determined through a series of tests and teacher recommendations. He also further pursued his interests outside school by researching at Columbia University’s Astrophysics lab.
