Family inspired Aditi Singh\u2019s passion for biomedical engineering, starting with her grandfather. As a child, she couldn\u2019t play with her prized remote-control car around him, because potentially its signal could interfere with his defibrillator. \u201cThat was where my interest in medical technologies kind of came from,\u201d says Singh (ENG\u201928).<\/p>\n
Her younger brother presented a less serious, and more mundane, situation she had to negotiate. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have sleep apnea, but his snoring issues\u2014I call them issues\u2014they give me many problems, because we share a room,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m a pretty light sleeper.\u201d She turned to Google, asking, \u201cWhy does my brother snore so much?\u201d And what came up was articles about sleep apnea.<\/p>\n
The next stop on her intellectual journey is Boston University, where she has joined the Class of 2028 to take advantage of BU\u2019s formidable resources in biomedical engineering.<\/p>\n
