Nader graduated from Swarthmore College with dual degrees in engineering and computer science. He developed a strong interest in this program after carrying out projects involving computer vision and mobile robotics. This included having a turtlebot "play soccer", navigate a maze, and more. Following this, he completed a micro-internship under Pickle Robotics where he used PID and optimization-based control to command a manipulator in simulation.

Ultimately, his senior comprehensive involved using an event camera for object motion tracking in 2D and 3D. At Northwestern, he is eager to learn about autonomous vehicles, path planning, and machine learning.
