Chitra recently returned to law school after twenty years to complete an LLM in Taxation to better understand how tax policy impacts wealth distribution and creates the ecosystem in which nonprofits operate.
Aziza Almanakly, 2021 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow
Born and raised in Northern New Jersey, Aziza Almanakly is the daughter of Syrian immigrants, who came to the United States in the early 1990’s in pursuit of academic opportunities. Growing up, Aziza was surrounded by the energy of the music of Amr Diab, the superstition of the evil eye, the warmness and hospitality, and the overall enthusiasm of Syrian culture, and she only spoke Arabic until entering elementary school. As the civil war in Syria grew dire, more family members sought asylum in the US, and Aziza was fortunate enough to grow up around cousins and aunts and uncles, who built a new version of their Syrian home in New Jersey.
Following in the footsteps of her mathematically minded father, Aziza chose to study electrical engineering in college at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. In those four years, she gained more than technical training; she learned first-hand the importance of strong mentorship in diversifying engineering to expand the capabilities of budding technologies. Aziza pursued teaching and mentorship opportunities, using her unique experience as a New American and one of few women in her class to encourage younger students of underrepresented backgrounds in New York City to enter STEM. After reading about quantum computing in the Wall Street Journal, Aziza was eager to become a part of the present-day scientific revolution. The realization of quantum computers would provide unprecedented computational power to analyze and manipulate complex natural and man-made systems; from protein simulations for drug-related research, to unbreakable data encryption for network security. Throughout her time as an undergraduate, Aziza pursued research opportunities in experimental quantum computing at Princeton University, the City University of New York, New York University, and the California Institute of Technology.
Aziza is currently a PhD student in electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is researching microwave quantum optics with superconducting qubits for quantum communication under Professor William Oliver. Aziza’s career goal is to engineer multi-qubit systems that push boundaries in quantum technology.
Eric Chung, 2016 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow
A son of immigrants from Vietnam, Eric grew up in Madison Heights, a small city near Detroit, Michigan, where he witnessed firsthand the importance of educational mobility. Inspired by his parents’ sacrifices to ensure a better life for their children, and by the many undeterred students and teachers in his hometown who made the most of limited resources, Eric made it his mission to use his own opportunities to help others access theirs. He received his AB, summa cum laude, from Harvard University and his JD from Yale Law School, where he focused on education, health, and welfare law and policy. Eric has served in all three branches of government. He is Associate Chief Counsel at the U.S. Department of Commerce, where he is advising the implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act, a landmark economic and national security law. In 2022, Eric served as Special Counsel to Chair Dick Durbin and the US Senate Judiciary Committee to assist with the confirmation process of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court. In 2017, he co-authored The Portrait Project: A Portrait of Asian Americans in the Law 1.0, the first comprehensive study of Asian Americans in the legal profession.

Arturo Macias Franco, 2022 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow
Born and raised in Torreón Coahuila, México, Arturo Macías Franco spent most of his childhood visiting his grandfather’s parcel—admiring nature and the arid agricultural operations of Northern México. At 17, pursuing a better education and life, Arturo immigrated to the United States, escaping the inhabitable violence brought by the drug wars. Though challenging, his experiences as an immigrant, specifically, those in higher education allowed Arturo to find his path and give back.
Arturo attended Napa Valley Community College prior to transferring to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). At UNR, Arturo was able to relive many of his childhood memories by attending an institution with a heavy emphasis on dryland agriculture systems. He completed his BSc degrees in agriculture and in veterinary science where he was recognized as the Outstanding Graduating Senior. Arturo defended his MSc and PhD degrees in animal and rangeland sciences with his work on precision livestock feeding, water requirements and water footprint modeling, and precision livestock systems.
Arturo’s research addresses the sustainable intensification of livestock production systems. He is interested in supporting agricultural communities by developing tools that allow producers to feed themselves and their communities more sustainably.

Dennis X. Tseng, 2013 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow
Dennis X. Tseng is a communication and diversity, equity, and inclusion professional, currently working at Google. Throughout his life, he always wanted to be a storyteller, making sense of the world through the power of narrative. He left his hometown of San Jose to study acting at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Upon graduation, he found that show-business was particularly uninterested in casting or telling stories about Asian-Americans. Frustrated by his lack of agency, Dennis founded his own theater company where he served as the Executive Director, writing, directing, and producing 10 full-length productions over 5 years.
This led him back to business school at the Yale School of Management, where he earned the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans and earned an MBA. He worked in consulting, organizational design, and culture, eventually leading to his current role at Google, where he leads narrative and communications for Equity Strategy, helping to make Google a place where everyone belongs. Outside of work, Dennis is a freelance screenwriter, but mostly spends his time in a chaotic, multi-generational household with his husband, his mom, his twin 4-year-olds, and two white cats named Becky and Darlene.
Shomik Verma, 2023 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow
Shomik is interested in developing revolutionary technologies to solve global energy challenges. Shomik grew up in the oil and gas capital of the world, with parents who were from the coal capital of India. The fossil fuel industry provided his family with plentiful opportunities but also hurt them – when Shomik lost his uncle to black lung he decided it was time to devote his life to clean energy.
During his undergrad in mechanical engineering at Duke University, he helped lead the Duke Electric Vehicles team to two Guinness World Records for fuel efficiency, for both battery electric and fuel-based vehicles. In the UK, as a Marshall Scholar he worked on improving the efficiency of solar cells, completing an MPhil in materials science with Professor Aron Walsh at Imperial College London on designing novel photon conversion materials using computational chemistry and machine learning, and with Professor Rachel Evans at the University of Cambridge on embedding these materials in 3D printed parts that could couple with solar cells.
Now, Shomik is pursuing a PhD in mechanical engineering at MIT with Professor Asegun Henry, where he is working on energy storage to make variable renewable energy sources such as solar more reliable, and on a next-generation power plant based on thermophotovoltaic power conversion. After his PhD, Shomik hopes to use his skillset to decarbonize industry and make cheap, clean, and reliable energy available to all.
