Hi, I’m Yoshi Otani—feel free to call me Yoshi. I’m originally from Japan but was born in San Diego, CA. I’m a senior chemistry major and plan to pursue an MBA after college. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and going to the gym.

I think AI is a powerful tool with valuable applications in academics and beyond. However, I believe AI is currently overhyped, with many companies pushing its use for unnecessary reasons.
