Since I was young, familial circumstances led me to see the world from the perspective of most disabled individuals. Seeing my family struggle with my brother’s disability, I attempted to help by imagining theoretical instruments that would ease his pain and improve his bodily functions. My dad’s profession as an engineer influenced me to create, shift, combine, and manipulate objects in my mind. I’m very thankful for this creative ability, which allowed me to develop my deep passion to innovate that led me into the field of Biomedical Engineering. (BME)
As I started my BME introduction course this semester, I was filled with wonder and amazement. I became excited about the vast knowledge I could attain through experience and the program. While pursuing a degree in BME, I plan …show more content…
Through my undergraduate career, I hope to explore the different kinds of fields that make up the Bioengineering process as a whole. I have also developed the desire to study tissue engineering and cardiovascular studies, which consist of focusing more on gaining knowledge in the tissue and biomaterial interactions that would affect the overall system of the body. As a student, I also want to enhance my education and adapt myself in a research environment through volunteering. In the near future, I hope to collaborate with Dr. Han, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at UTSA, in the field of cardiovascular biomechanics and Dr. Appleford, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at UTSA, with his study in the bone cell interactions with biomaterials. Taken together, these aspects of the Biomedical Engineering program will ensure that I meet my professional goals and I am very excited to continue my
