"Devinder is from Carp, Canada and lives in Pforzheimer House (quad life best life)! Before he came to Harvard, Devinder took a gap year (mostly to avoid online classes) during which he worked at a French radio station, spent a lot of time playing piano, tutoring, and skiing, became an accredited yoga teacher, and completed an internship with IBM. Devinder is passionate about the intersection of emerging technologies and climate change which ties in nicely to his concentration in Environmental Science & Engineering and Economics. When Devinder is not studying or eating, you can probably find him on the Charles River rowing for the Varsity Crew Team. Aside from academics and athletics (and eating...), Devinder is involved with the Canadian Club and the Clean Energy Group. He also enjoys reading, hiking, and any outdoor sport. After doing FIP during his freshman fall and being a FIP leader the last two years, Devinder is beyond excited to welcome all of the incoming internationals in FIP 2024!!"
