Biography
Chloe Roque is a Houston, Texas native and an undergraduate student at St. Edward’s University majoring in Mathematics with a minor in Physics. She is deeply inspired by her mother, whose emphasis on hard work and education shaped her academic path. Growing up near NASA’s Johnson Space Center further sparked her early interest in space and scientific discovery. She is passionate about computational mathematics and applying it to real-world problems, particularly in physics and aerospace, and plans to pursue a Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics.
At St. Edward’s, Chloe is actively involved in research and leadership. Her research focuses on applying mathematical methods to analyzing diffusion models, as well as using data science to study atmospheric physics. She is also passionate about supporting women in STEM from underrepresented communities and is the founder and president of her university’s Women in STEM organization, where she leads initiatives centered on mentorship, outreach, and empowerment. Through this work, she aims to create inclusive spaces that encourage students to pursue STEM fields. Chloe also hopes to start a nonprofit in the future to further expand access and opportunities in STEM education.
This summer at MIT, Chloe will participate in physics-focused research, where she looks forward to further exploring her interests in physics and gaining experience in a collaborative research environment.
