Community Outreach Supervisor

Timur Maryia

Timur Maryia is a vibrant new member of the team. He infuses his work with a special combination of an interest in research and an international perspective. After moving to Massachusetts, Timur—who was born and raised in Israel—decided to pursue his academic and career goals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Timur tackles every post with a dedication to accuracy and creativity, a strong eye for detail, and a hunger for information. He creates captivating narratives that fascinate readers and shed light on the most recent developments in STEM subjects. He is a great contribution to our organization because of his broad experience and never-ending interest, which encourage readers to follow him as he pushes the boundaries of scientific discovery.

Timur's conviction that information has the ability to change the world is the driving force behind his decision to become the Community Outreach Supervisor for Engineering Pivot. Timur felt driven to share these findings with a larger audience after seeing directly, during his stay in Massachusetts, the transforming power of scientific research. He saw a chance to bridge the knowledge gap between scientific academia and the general people with Engineering Pivot and he used his writing to explain complicated topics and inspire a love of learning in readers from all walks of life. Timur hopes to build a community of knowledgeable and involved people who are as excited about studying the wonders of the cosmos through the prism of STEM as he is by his contributions.

Co-Founder

Shanmukh Bachhu

Hi! My name is Shanmukh Bachhu, and I am currently a junior in High School. I'm an aspiring water resources engineer and am currently invested in environmental science research studying polyfluoroalkyl substances in Riverside's groundwater aquifers. You'll also find me at competitions under my school's Vex Robotics Team or around the Southern California area, competing in a multitude of Model United Nations conferences. I am also part of MME Networks to increase the drive for academic research as well as EngineeringPivot helping the engineers of tomorrow. Many students go into STEM not truly finding that initial spark, and lacking the drive to succeed in Engineering. I helped co-found EngineeringPivot to help connect students to readers, helping students across the world to learn about the various research students like them are doing.

Calin Rugema

Hello! My name is Cailin Rugema. I am a rising junior in highschool, born and currently residing in Rwanda, East Africa. I have always been fascinated with aerospace engineering and spacecraft, I enjoy learning about the different possibilities involved with sustainability in aircraft and how the aviation industry can develop to something better. I participate in my school's hardest maths and physics courses for A-levels. I like challenging myself to learn about advanced materials to enrich my knowledge in a subject.In the same way I find my dream career to be in aerospace engineering where I can research more on the possibilities of new technologies. I specifically love to intrigue and captivate my audience with educational articles on new developments constantly happening in the interesting world of engineering. I find my role to be essential to educating a young audience on the newest technologies and upbringings that are happening.

Head of Civil Engineering

Head of Biomedical Engineering

Elijah Powell

Elijah is a dean’s list biomedical engineering student and premed. At university, he enjoys neuroscience, systems biology, and courses in tissue engineering. Outside of the classroom, you can find him, making notion templates, 3D models, or videos.

Switching out of the third person. I love so many things, neuroscience, learning efficiency, cellular biology, and human innovation in general, so when you have that many interests biomedical engineering is the obvious choice; there isn’t anything more interdisciplinary. That’s why I joined Engineering Pivot, it’s a community that reflects that!
