Education

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, MENG

University of Strathclyde / 2021 - Ongoing
During my tenure at the University of Strathclyde, my academic journey has encompassed a diverse range of engineering disciplines. I've delved into the intricate world of electronic circuits, exploring their underlying principles and honing my skills in designing both digital and analog circuits. I've taken on the challenge of crafting Mealy and Moore machines from the ground up, gaining a deep understanding of their workings. Additionally, I've immersed myself in the realms of Solidworks CAD and CAM technology, delving into the intricacies of Cell Biology, programming in many languages, and tackling the complexities of numerical analysis and differential equation solving. Beyond academics, I've actively engaged with the university community, participating in the Snowsports society and serving as a dedicated course representative throughout my academic journey.

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

McMaster University/ 2023-2024

During my exchange at McMaster University, I immersed myself in a dynamic academic environment, focusing on Immunology, Biomedical Instrumentation, and Programming in C. This experience was enriched by hands-on projects in the electronics lab, where I contributed to the creation of innovative medical devices such as EOG, ECG, and EEG machines. These projects honed my practical skills and deepened my understanding of biomedical engineering. Additionally, I engaged in complex programming projects, developing genetic algorithms and neural networks from scratch in C, which challenged me to think critically and creatively, socially I was a member of McMaster Universities' quiz team where I competed in a University Challenge like tournament at the University of Toronto. Beyond academics, this exchange offered me a wealth of cultural experiences, allowing me to engage with diverse perspectives and collaborate with students and faculty from various backgrounds. This blend of rigorous academics and rich cultural exchange at McMaster University has been instrumental in shaping my professional and personal growth.
