Nehan Hossain is a high school student in Bothell, Washington, and the founder of Atlas of Opportunity. A former University of Washington SASWE research intern, he has co-authored work published in Earth System Science Data and AGU Advances. He built Atlas of Opportunity after realizing how often access depends on insider knowledge.
- "The information you need to do real research should not depend on whether your parents went to college, or whether your school has a counselor with bandwidth."— Nehan Hossain, founder
- "We don't sell anything, we don't take referral fees, and we won't list a program that charges thousands without need-based aid. Trust is the whole product."— Nehan Hossain, founder
