Vedarsh Mishra

Vedarsh Mishra studies Applied Physics and Political Science at Boston College, where he focuses on systems engineering, AI safety, and technology policy. He leads MechaEagles, a student-led engineering team focused on hands-on design and systems thinking, and contributes to AI accountability research through the Midas Project and the Harvard AI Safety Group.

Currently a Civic Leaders Fellow with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, his interests lie in how technical design and public policy can work together to make innovation more transparent, safe, and aligned with human values. Whether working on machines, models, or ideas, Vedarsh is motivated by a simple question—how can the systems we build today make life better, not just easier, and bring out the best of human potential?
