From an early age, he has been fascinated by technology, problem-solving, and the stars. Through his hands-on projects, he has inspired younger students to explore STEM. His interest in astronomy has fueled his desire to use electrical engineering to contribute to space exploration. He hopes to combine his passion for solving complex problems with the development of future sensing technologies that could aid in the discovery of new planets and phenomena in the universe. At North Carolina A&amp;T, Malik conducts research under the guidance of Dr. Raptis, where he is gaining experience in engineering design, automation, and problem-solving. Through this work, he is building a foundation in the technical and analytical skills needed to contribute to advanced imaging, algorithms, and intelligent systems. He aspires to continue his education through the PhD level. In addition to his technical goals, Malik hopes to inspire young students through STEM by one day starting a nonprofit where children can build creative and ambitious projects that show how exciting engineering and innovation can be. By combining research, innovation, and service, he hopes to build a career in the aerospace industry while encouraging others to pursue STEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5163,"template":"","profile_category":[25],"class_list":["post-5161","profiles","type-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-2026-interns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profiles"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5164,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5161\/revisions\/5164"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"profile_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile_category?post=5161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
