Cuauhtémoc is a dynamic high school student with a wide range of interests, from marching band and athletics to school government, but his true passion lies in research. Specifically, he has a keen interest in two types of research: scientific exploration and political theory. In the area of scientific research he has focused on addressing the issue of heat stress in individuals.  His interest in this area began when he read about the death of a fellow student athlete due to heat stroke.  This led to his development of a system to remotely monitor student athletes for signs of heat stress during practice.  He has since widened his focus to include anyone participating in outdoor activities in which heat exposure could be dangerous. His research in this area has garnered multiple awards at the local, state, and international levels, even earning him the Air Force Research Laboratory award for biomedical engineering.

In addition to his scientific pursuits, he is equally enthusiastic about political theory research. This passion has led him to take on leadership roles within his high school's student government. Moreover, he had the privilege of participating in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo De Zavala Youth Legislative Session, where he successfully campaigned and was elected to serve as a senator at the state level. During this event, he drafted essential legislation to introduce civics education programs in middle and high schools, promoting a deeper understanding of the U.S and state government. His efforts were recognized when he was honored with the title of "Most Distinguished Senator."

Looking ahead, his ultimate ambition is to merge his two passions, integrating scientific research and data analysis into more effective political policy making. By combining these areas of study, he hopes to contribute significantly to shaping a better future for society.
