Hello!

Hi! I'm Alex Sheng.

I spend a lot of time thinking about interesting problems, making fun events possible, and trying to learn things.

01 — About

A little about me.

Did you know I like drinking orange juice?

I'm a student at Princeton High School (PHS) interested in mathematics, philosophy, and computer science.

Nowadays, you'll probably find me trying to learn new math, start research (hopefully), and also help create PHS events such as hackPHS and the Princeton Math Tournament.

I'm a captain of the PHS Math Team, and a officer of the PHS Physics Club. I also like sharing math to younger students through math outreach at Littlebrook.

Sometimes you'll find me with PHS Science Bowl, and I'd like to explore more in the field of philosophy.

02 — Experience

Things I've done.

A selection of experiences and activities.

Princeton High School Mathematics Team
Captain
Worked on writing team selection tests (TSTs), gave lectures ranging from simple algebraic tricks to Gödel's incompleteness theorems, and captained PHS at tournaments such as PUMaC. I've previously served as an officer at PHSMT. Won PUMaC Division B with PHS Avocado and qualified for individual finals at the Princeton University Mathematics Competition. That was pretty fun.
2026 — Present
hackPHS
Head Director
I lead all the initiatives of Princeton High School's hackathon, hackPHS, and help make a eventful day of programming and exploration happen for everyone at hackPHS 2026. Not all the emails sent in my name are actually sent by me but you should be proud of your event so why not :) Previously, I was a lead organizer of hackPHS 2025.
2025 - Present
The Tower
Section Editor
I'm the Co-Section Head for Tower Online, the website and online applications of Princeton High School's newspaper, The Tower. I write code sometimes.
2026 - Present
Princeton High School Physics Club
Officer
To be honest I originally joined for the snacks but like now I'm finding myself trying to make physics more enjoyable for students at PHS. Life comes at you fast.
2026 - Present
03 — Research

Things I've researched.

Well this list is empty for now. I'm currently still on the big dream of doing "real" aka old fashioned research aka without using Claude Fable 5.

2026
Research Project

This is hopefully coming soon.

04 — Writing

Things I've written.

Some thoughts, essays, and other writing. People said I didn't blog enough (partially because I didn't blog at all...) so hopefully I'll write something (of substance?!)
