ABOUT ME

I am a mechanical engineer with an interdisciplinary background in molecular biology and design and a strong passion for healthcare. This passion has motivated many of my academic pursuits over the years, including brain cancer research with 4 publications in medical journals and receiving a research fellowship grant, as well as volunteer activities for underserved local and global communities.

 

Though initially I have considered medicine for my career, I realized that my ability to provide help with medicine is limited by the physical distance of where I was located. I wanted to make a wider impact not just to people I directly interact with but beyond. With engineering, I can combine both my passion for healthcare and design by building products that can bring a meaningful impact on people’s lives, thus driving me to mechanical engineering. During my program, I had taken foundational courses in engineering and completed projects working with different manufacturing methods, fabrication, and materials as well as computational analysis and software. This website showcases few of the projects I had completed over the years.

 

I graduated with M.S. in mechanical engineering from Boston University, and B.A. in molecular cell biology with a neurobiology emphasis from University of California, Berkeley.
