Chandna is one of six engineering students to receive this scholarship in 2020. The scholarship program is funded by David Flanagan, a 1976 graduate of the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and his wife Ann.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EChandna is from Peachtree Corners, Georgia and is a graduate of Norcross High School. He was a full International Baccalaureate candidate, as well as a member of the marching band, National Honor Society, and math team. He also served as the president of his school\u0026rsquo;s chapter of the Science National Honor Society.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELast summer and during the school year, Chandna completed community service as a math tutor. Recently, he has been working at Amerifiber as a fiber optics engineering intern. In his free time, Chandna enjoys reading and learning about theoretical physics and mathematical applications beyond the scope of what he is being taught.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EChandna is currently enrolled as an electrical engineering major, but will change to computer engineering next semester with a thread concentration in emerging architectures and signals and information processing. In the future, he would like to earn a FAIT (Foreign Affairs in Information Technology) fellowship. This will provide funding for graduate school, but will also further broaden Chandna\u0026rsquo;s cultural horizons, as he will serve as a diplomat in the United States foreign service for five years upon graduating.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile he is at Georgia Tech, Chandna plans to join IEEE and Eta Kappa Nu.
