Varun Saketharam

Hello everyone! My name is Varun. I am originally from Thailand, but I went to school in California for my undergraduate. Coming to Imperial as a postgrad student, there are so many things going on such as department requirements to be caught up with, jobs to apply, career and seminar events to attend in addition to the modules coursework and it can be so overwhelming! I think I speak for all of us when I say it is not possible to accomplish everything we want. While it may be impossible to do everything perfectly, there is no reason the aeronautics department cannot tailor more to our needs and make our lives easier, which is my goal for this academic year.

If elected, I’d focus on creating an inclusive and supportive environment academically and socially! I want to make sure that any issues that come up from students are addressed whether it is about lectures, department resources, or overall experience as Imperial students. I would be more than happy to talk to anyone to resolve a pressing issue or simply chat about random stuff. Let’s make this year the best year for Aero students!
