Engineering
My Engineering Background
I majored in biomedical engineering at the University of Minnesota, with a specialty in medical device design. Why? Because I’m passionate about the intersection of medicine and technology.
One on hand, I’ve taken the traditional engineering classes, relating to fluid mechanics concepts, statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, circuits, signals and systems, material science, prototyping, and quality engineering.
But on the other hand, I have a very in depth background on medicine. I’ve had the privilege to take organic chemistry, molecular biology, physiology, and anatomy classes. This means I take a unique approach to innovation in digital health and medical technology, as I can apply my medical background to engaged in patient-first solutions.
(I also have a management minor in which I’ve taken accounting, finance, management, marketing, and economics classes – learn more about that here)
Resources for Engineering
This section is growing – but I’m compiling some of the best online resources I can find for current and future engineering students. I believe that true education is a lifelong pursuit, and reviewing fundamentals can help you solve problems in a different way. (Eventually, I will have my own resources available as well for learning any one of these topics!)
Resources for Medicine
This section is also growing – but it will eventually serve as a fantastic reference for anyone who wants to build their medical knowledge. The hope is that the information gained from these sections can not only help engineers understand the application field for device use cases, but also inform personal decisions about health and medicine.
