About me

I am Aavar Lamichhane, a 10th grade sophomore at John H. Guyer High School. I was born and raised in Denton, Texas. I also spent a few years at Columbia, Missouri. I am interested in blending AI into the field of medicine and aspire to be an AI-aware medical professional. I am passionate about using AI and related technology to improve medical practices and patient care.

Activities and Interests

  • Health Clinic Volunteer

    I am actively volunteering at the Himalaya Health Clinic, a medical clinic in Euless, Texas, on Sundays. As a volunteer, I help doctors and patients at the clinic in all kinds of ways. For example, I help enrolling patients by taking their height, weight, and sometimes blood pressure. At the clinic, I have worked with about 1,000 patients.

  • Web Development

    Recently I have gotten interested in web technology and web development. After creating this website, with the help of AI (i.e., vibe coding), I am inspired to learn more about web technologies and web development. I am now interested in creating meaningful websites that will have a positive impact on the world and add value to others.

  • Research

    I believe that there is a tremendous potential in the future for AI to be used in medicine and improve patient care. I am always interested in researching and exploring these topics. When I meet with computer science or AI professionals and healthcare professionals, I try to learn more about the challenges they face and how AI can help address them.

  • Interacting with People

    I enjoy interacting with both friends and strangers. I have found that interacting with other people creates opportunities for meaningful connections and conversations. I am always eager to meet new people and learn from their experiences.

Education

Schools I Attended

Nepal

Both of my parents are from Nepal and we follow a lot of Nepali culture and traditions in our daily lives. In 2023, I visited several places in Nepal, including my mom's hometown, Hetauda, and my dad's hometown, Gorkha. I stayed there for about 3 months and explored lots of new places. I also met several family members I had never met before. When I returned to America after 3 months, I brought a lot of memories and experiences with me. While I am an American citizen, I am connected to Nepal, Nepali people, and the rich Nepali culture.

My Connection to Nepal

    My parents were both born and raised in Nepal along with most of my cousins, friends, and many other relatives.

Here are some of my recent experiences that I have had in the past few years. I have been able to learn a lot from these experiences and they have helped me grow as a person. I am always looking for new experiences and opportunities to learn and grow.

Recent Experiences

  • AI Research

    In the summer of 2026 I had a wonderful experience at the University of Missouri at St. Louis working with associate professor Dr. Badri Adhikari. While working with him, I learned many technologies, including AI, writing process reports, and web development. We also had a lot of intriguing discussions about AI and its applications in the medical field.

  • Blood Drive Volunteer

    On April 19th, the Youth Medical Alliance hosted a blood drive in which about 80 people donated blood for people in need. I was a volunteer at the blood drive and helped with finding donors, the registration process, guided donors to the donation area, certificate preparation, and assisted with post-donation care.
