west haven, CT, United States
Degree: Master's Degree
Major:Biomedical Engineering
Minor:Biomedical Engineering
I graduated with a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of New Haven. My education provided a strong foundation in engineering principles integrated with medical and biological sciences. I specialized in biomedical instrumentation, biomaterials and polymers, circuits and analog devices, tissue engineering, and design of experiments. The curriculum emphasized hands-on experience through labs, design projects, and internships, culminating in a capstone project where I developed a biomedical engineering solution for a real-world problem.
