Eric Mukherjee played as an undergraduate at Brown and is currently an MD-PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. He's often considered the best overall science player ever, and is also known for his love of 20th-century history, mythology, and art.

Career

Brown

While at Brown, Eric won several 2nd place finishes at ACF Nationals on teams led by Jerry Vinokurov, and with Jerry, Matt Weiner, and Jonathan Magin won IO 2007 and Chicago Open 2008. He notably did not attend either national in 2009 due to medical school interviews.

Penn

After beginning an MD-PhD program, Eric significantly decreased his playing time, but managed to win 2nd place at 2010 ICT before missing most of 2011. Since then, he has led Penn to several top bracket finishes from 2012 to present, including most notably a 2nd place finish at 2015 ICT and a victory at 2015 ACF Nationals. Eric was also on the winning team of Chicago Open 2012, 2014, and 2016 (having edited in 2015 and not played in 2017), and won second place in 2009.

Writing

Eric's writing career began with his editing of EFT 2007, with Dennis Jang and Jerry Vinokurov. Since then, he's edited multiple iterations of EFT, Penn Bowl, and Lederberg and has contributed to NHBB, HSAPQ, and ACF tournaments intermittently. He currently plans to write MSTP before graduating, a tournament inspired by his time in medical school.
