Teammates
I grew up in a small town, Nanuet (nan-yoo-et), New York just outside the city and flew out to the University of Utah to study biomedical engineering. Outside of the lab, I enjoy developing apps, playing chess, and walking my dog Penny. My goal is to pursue a career in neuroengineering with a research focus on understanding how neurostimulation impacts brain dynamics.

I am a second-year student in Biomedical Engineering in the Neuroengineering track. I am working on computational models of temporal interference as a deep brain stimulation method. In my free time, I like to ride my motorcycle, play volleyball and ski!

I am a second-year student in Biomedical Engineering in the Neuroengineering track and in the Neurosurgery Department. I am co-mentored by Dr. Shervin Rahimpour and Dr. Chuck Dorval, and I investigate the language pathways of patients with Parkinson's disease and essential tremors. I work with computational modeling, electrophysiology analyses, and MR/CT images used to reconstruct the electrode placement and analyze task outcomes during surgery. In my free time, I enjoy playing the bassoon with the University Campus Symphony and Utah Medical Orchestra, working out, and cooking!

I am a second-year PhD student in Elizabeth Wilde and Emily Dennis's lab, under the mentorship of Chuck Dorval. My research focuses on traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with a specific emphasis on large data set analysis and photobiomodulation. I’m an honorary member of a tribe in Papua New Guinea.
I spent most of my life in Idaho before coming to Utah to attend the U for my bachelor's and master's degrees. In the future, I plan to attend graduate school and study treatments for neurological conditions. I'm especially interested in researching treatments using cell and tissue engineering strategies.
I grew up in Moline, Illinois on the Mississippi River, and came to the University of Utah to study biomedical engineering. Outside of research, I enjoy working as a U-Life mentor, volunteering at UAF Legacy Health, snowboarding, and backpacking. In the future, I would like to pursue an advanced degree in neuroengineering with a research focus on neurodegenerative illnesses.

I am a senior in Biomedical Engineering working on electronics and modeling.
I am currently a senior in the Biomedical Engineering program here at the U. I'm originally from São Paulo, Brazil and I moved to SLC in 2021. I am working on tractography models on patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and studying their white matter tracts. During my free time I enjoy running and recently I have picked up skiing.
