Coaches and Mentors

Our passionate coaches and mentors who have helped the team grow and learn.


Shalin Mehta

lead coach

I am a life-long learner of the science of light, logic, and life. I enjoy mentoring the younger generation. Coaching the Vortex Robotics team is my favorite hobby outside of work. At work, I lead an interdisciplinary research team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub that designs robotic microscopes.


Kaushik Pal

coach

Growing up I’ve always wanted to be in the visual arts. Developing Video Games and then working at Apple has given me the opportunity to create programmatic art in various capacities. I am excited to be involved with the Vortex team. The contagious enthusiasm and problem-solving sessions with the kids present fun challenges and new areas of learning!
