Holding a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Bachelor's Degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, I have cultivated a strong foundation in diverse fields. From delving into biomaterials to contributing to my university’s 3D printing technology, my academic and research journey reflects a commitment to innovation. I am excited to make a positive impact by utilizing my skills and experience in various fields and desire to learn and help others.
Biomedical Engineering
I have been passionate about Biomedical Engineering since 7th grade, due to the field’s clear and positive impact on patients and healthcare. After participating in my high school’s Biomedical Engineering track, I pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
At CMU, I strengthened my engineering principles and gained a strong foundation in these biomedical topics through research and classes in unique disciplines that span the Biomedical Engineering field. Ultimately, I was able to complete my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s Degree in 4.5 years. With these degrees, I hope to make a positive impact by utilizing my passion for helping others and learning.
Materials Science & Engineering
At CMU, I completed my Bachelor's in Materials Science and Engineering, gaining a newfound appreciation for the field's significance in product development and innovation. My coursework provided a comprehensive understanding of how material properties are influenced by composition and manufacturing. This perspective plays a pivotal role in how I view product development and how Materials Science is key to driving advancements across diverse disciplines.
Shortly after being a teaching assistant for a sophomore-level crystallography course, I made a lasting positive influence on the program through the purchase, calibration, training, and maintenance of state-of-the-art 3D printers and Hololens augmented reality machines, both of which will be utilized for laboratory activities and capstone projects for years to come.
Programming
Ever since learning how to code in Java during my senior year in high school, I resonated with utilizing logic, reasoning, and documentation to solve problems and automate tasks. After learning Python during my freshman year of college, I have remained passionate about Python and have continued to explore the vast libraries and applications through personal projects.
During the Summer of 2022, Summer of 2023, and Fall of 2023, I was a Teaching Assistant for an Introduction to Python course at CMU, where I utilized my skills and experience to teach others how to code, develop logic and reasoning skills, and understand important computational principles needed when programming. Despite the completion of my academic programming tenure, I remain passionate about programming, plan to continue creating personal projects, and hope to expand into other languages such as JavaScript.
