Diego Troya

My interest in effective altruism was ignited after a serendipitous read of Singer’s The Life You Can Save. After devoting a couple of years to studying the literature, I feel a moral obligation to help those who are not as privileged as I am. While my career (Professor of Chemistry at Virginia Tech) does not directly align with the typical career of other EAs, I am an aspiring earn-to-giver. With over $100,000 donated to effective charities in less than 2 years, I think a $1M lifetime donation goal is well within reach.
