“I took a multi-faceted approach to improving medicine: I researched nerve stimulation for preventing stroke-induced motor impairments, crafted multiple patents for use with photoacoustic microscopy techniques, and served my engineering community through a myriad of leadership positions. GCSP not only motivated me but gave me the resources and the community to achieve. From my experience, I aim to one day become a professor, researching innovative medical techniques and guiding future generations of engineers.”
