Ziyad is currently a co-designer working with the NeuroVivid team.

In his own words…

What I’m up to now… I’m currently a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering, also member of WPI’s Drumline -Marching/PEP Band and WPI Winter Percussion Competitive Team. 

My STEM interests… are all things tech! Building computers, hardware refurbishing (PCs/laptops), network configurations (Ztekrevolution.com), as well as aviation–flying lessons and aero engine design and interior. 

My other interests include… Music composition (YouTube Channel @ZOTMIDI Channel), writing drumming cadences for WPI Drumline, T3 Family Band (T3Rocks.com), creating enormous rolling ball structures and designing with circuitry! 

Art and STEM intersect. I think… they are both highly interconnected as they both use engineering elements/patterns and aesthetics that are like puzzles, when solved and put together, can make something amazing!   

I’m excited to continue working with the NV team because… it really allows me to explore new concepts while using my existing skills to think of ideas that can hopefully be useful to society and I also love working with the NV team which is like a second family to me, cheerleading us on!
