About Me

My name is Andrew Fecher, and I am a first year student and STEM Exploration and Engagement Scholar at The Ohio State University. I am currently a Chemistry major, but I am in the process of becoming a pre-CSE major. Since I have been coding from middle school, it has been great to start working at a collegiate level and expand my computing knowledge. I graduated as a Salutatorian from Beavercreek High School, and am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to assist in Chemistry research for two summers before even coming to tOSU. I worked under a PhD Physical Chemist and Senior Scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratories, conducting thermal fuels research using many forms of spectroscopy. I mostly worked with integrating computer coding into the research to optimize experiments. This means that I was able to integrate my two passions for computer science and physical science.  It was an amazing experience, and gave we a window into understanding possibilities for my future career.
