Tristin Yun

I'm a 16-year-old high school junior from North Jersey with a passion for exploring ideas and driving meaningful change. I'm especially fascinated by the intersection of behavioral science and technology in modern society, but my curiosity also extends to history, economics, and politics. I’ve conducted research exploring biological aging as a potential mechanism linking cardiovascular risk factors to cognitive decline, with a focus on how slowing biological aging could help reduce the societal burden of aging and cognitive decline.

Beyond academics, I’m the founder of the Eleos Marketing Group, a nonprofit dedicated to helping other nonprofits and small businesses expand their impact through strategic marketing, digital solutions, and consulting. In my free time, I find solace in classical music. I've been playing the violin for 10 years and perform at Carnegie Hall three times a year with the New York Youth Symphony. For fellow classical music lovers, my favorite composer is Richard Strauss!
