GAPSA Leadership
Aryaman Shah
Director for
Social Programming
I am Aryaman Shah, a first-year master's student in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Originally from India, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from BITS Pilani. I have also cleared the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Level 1 exam, which aligns with my aspirations of bridging core chemical engineering expertise with financial acumen. My interests lie in areas that demand this unique intersection, particularly Energy Economics, Green Hydrogen, and Climate Finance, where I aim to contribute meaningfully to the global shift toward sustainable energy solutions.
Beyond academics, I have a strong passion for event management and community engagement. As the Director of Social Programming, I am dedicated to creating dynamic, inclusive, and memorable experiences that resonate with the diverse Penn community. My goal is to elevate campus life by organizing events that not only entertain but also foster meaningful connections and a sense of belonging.
In my free time, I enjoy staying active through sports like swimming, cricket, and table tennis. When I’m not on the field or in the pool, I love unwinding with a good TV show. Balancing academic rigor with my personal interests, I’m committed to making the most of my time at Penn while contributing positively to the student experience.
