My research: Development of surgical soft robots
I’ve always wanted to be a Doctor. With parents that are physicians, I was inclined to become a physician at a very young age. Not long after, I started also dabbling in computers and programming, which ultimately led me to pursue a Biomedical Engineering degree at BU. This degree afforded me the flexibility of combining my interests in physiology, engineering, and medicine. More recently, after starting medical school at BUSM, I serendipitously found a position at the Morphable Biorobotics Lab, which I currently work in now. The research involves the development of novel surgical devices using soft robotic principles, which is a great synthesis of all my interests.
I participated in the Medical School Summer Research Program (MSSRP) in the summer of 2021.
