MORE ABOUT ME

Hello! I’m Aaron Loh, a high school student and STEM researcher passionate about using mathematics, computer science, and creativity to solve real-world problems — and to make learning math exciting for others.

I currently attend American Heritage Schools – Palm Beach Campus and have taken college-level courses at Florida Atlantic University in subjects such as Calculus I & II, and Engineering Mathematics. I’m also an invited member of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and the Math Academy in Pasadena, California, where I studied Mathematics for Machine Learning, Calculus III, and Statistics.

My Research Journey

My favorite challenges are the ones that force me to think deeply — especially when math meets real-world complexity. In 2025, I developed an award-winning 3D epidemiological model that simulates the spread of infectious diseases using behavioral parameters such as public fatigue and government reaction velocity.

I built this project in Unity (C#) and analyzed it in MATLAB, creating a dynamic visual extension of the Kermack–McKendrick SIR model. This research earned recognition as a Top 300 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovator by the Society for Science and 2nd Place at the State Science and Engineering Fair (SSEF) of Florida.

Through this project, I learned how mathematics can illuminate not just science—but human behavior and policy decisions. I now hope to extend these ideas into machine learning and AI ethics, exploring how algorithms and people can coexist responsibly.

Academic & STEM Programs

AwesomeMath Summer Program (2025): Advanced studies in combinatorics, number theory, and geometry to prepare for AMC/AIME contests.
CryptoTeens (2025): 1st place in post-quantum cryptography challenges.

Math, Mentorship & Outreach

I believe that math becomes powerful when it’s shared. That’s why I founded AaronWizard, a YouTube channel and website dedicated to helping students around the world learn math in fun, engaging ways. My videos have reached thousands of viewers and cover topics ranging from algebra tricks to calculus problem-solving.

In addition to creating educational content, I serve as a MathRx tutor at American Heritage, where I help middle and high school students strengthen their problem-solving skills and prepare for math competitions.

You can also find my book, Helping Kids Win in Math, on Amazon Kindle Books, where I share strategies for building confidence in mathematics.

Beyond STEM

Outside the lab and classroom, I love music — especially performing Chopin and Wieniawski pieces on piano and violin. I’ve earned multiple California state honors in the Certificate of Merit exams and perform regularly at local churches and retirement homes, including a Holocaust Remembrance service.

What’s Next

As I continue my academic journey, I aim to pursue applied mathematics and machine learning, combining quantitative modeling with social responsibility. Whether I’m building a disease simulation, coding a neural network, or teaching algebra through a video tutorial, my goal remains the same:

To use math as a bridge between ideas, people, and positive change.
